You may want to stay on the boat. This part of the ocean doesn’t belong to you. It belongs to this beast, the Atlantic goliath grouper. And if you wander too close to those shadows, you may not come back out. So what would happen if this giant devoured you? What part of you would the fish eat first? Could you outswim this predator? Or would you have to escape out its other end? How can this fish send out a shockwave? How powerful is the sonic blast?

#WhatIf #GoliathFish #EndangeredSpecies #SonicBlast #Invertebrates

Florida’s underwater giants are back! After years of over-harvesting, Goliath Grouper have made a noticeable resurgence off of Florida’s coasts. Changing Seas joins scientists in the field as they study the life history of these awe-inspiring fish. Their goal is to gain a better understanding of the species and the obstacles it faces on the road to full recovery.

Weighing up to a thousand pounds and reaching seven feet in length, Goliath Grouper, Epinephelus itajara, are the Atlantic Ocean’s largest species of fish in the sea bass family. Formerly known as Jewfish, years of over-harvesting severely reduced the Goliath’s numbers, and in 1990 the fishery was closed in U.S. waters. Since then, the species has had time to slowly regenerate in Florida and the fish are once again seen on popular dive sites, especially in the summertime when the animals aggregate to spawn.

But this recovery hasn’t been a welcome sight to all – some recreational fishermen believe goliath grouper are devouring popular game fish, and that it is time to re-open the fishery. Scientists, however, have conducted studies on the grouper’s diet and determined that their main source of food is crustaceans – and not other groupers and snappers. Researchers say it’s too early to re-open the fishery. While they are encouraged by the goliath’s recovery in Florida, the fish remain critically endangered throughout the rest of their range.

In this episode of BlacktipH, I go fishing with some of the strongest men in the world to try battle one the strongest fish in the world! I invited JujiMufu (fitness freak and social media celebrity), Devon Larratt (World Arm Wrestling Champion and ex-special forces), and Layne Norton (World Champion powerlifter and fitness expert) on a quest to catch some monster Goliath groupers using stand-up tackle. Everyone quickly discovered how difficult it is to catch goliath groupers using stand-up tackle. All three men had very intense battles with these sea monsters!

In this episode, we recall the Top Five Biggest Goliath Groupers ever caught on BlacktipH. Number Five was an estimated 400+lb goliath grouper caught fishing with NFL Linebacker Sam Barrington. Number Four was an estimated 500+lb goliath grouper that I caught in 2014 using a handline. At the time, this was the largest goliath grouper I’ve ever caught. Number Three was a truly monster goliath grouper caught by my buddy Trace Frieden. This fish weighed well over 600lbs! Number Two is currently the largest goliath grouper I’ve ever caught on rod and reel. This fish weighed more than 600lbs! The biggest goliath grouper ever caught was with my friend Max McKinley. This fish was scary big and must have weighed between 650-700lbs! This grouper literary weighed more than the hull of the boat we caught it on.
