Imagine the fillet knife to clean that bugger up!!!

Oh.. and don't even try to hide that one from the game warden coming out to check licenses.. "Whats that hangin up there behind you?" "OH! That? It's made of rubber... we're making a parody of JAWS... its about a killer grouper.. we call it MAWS!"

I bet you don't wear a speedo at 425'

Several guys and a block and tackle.

Wow what an amazing take! I have to ask a dumb question. Does something of this size taste very good?

WOW!!!! Assuming the hunter wasn't practicing spear and release, that would require some fridge space....or big wall for the mount. I can just imagine it, "Honey, look what I picked up for the den."

You know, I've never heard of this fish being called a 'warsaw'. This is a goliath fish/jewfish right? Grouper family?

Here are the regs for Florida. If you look down at the bottom of page 2, you'll see that Goliath Grouper (the fish formerly known as Jewfish) and another species known as Nassau are both protected and illegal to take by spear or rod & reel. All others are fair game.
