If ever someone has a bunch of money they don't know what to do with, I'd love to do this...

Lots of cuss words that are bleeped out, and keep your volume low as they like to scream when they are hooked up. But it's worth a couple minutes to watch...

Living in South Florida, I have been fortunate enough to witness an epic battle between man and a full grown goliath grouper. To say it was insane is understatement. I tangled with a full grown one once, and lost. In this particular case, I was one and done. Wrestling with one of these epic beasts of the sea, is not something I want to do again.  lo lo

Truly insane,  when they built the 7 mile bridge in the early 1900, workers went missing and they suspected these giants with taking some workers.  They were bigger back then.  Just look like monster bass!

That was AWESOME!!!!! Those things eat SHARKS! They are built like car sized Largemouth! Would love to fight one! But from a chair! They'd pull me in for sure

This was hilarious and I have watched a few Goliath Videos and I think I will pass. Sounds very painful.

I also just read somewhere and not sure about this but there was a guy pulled out of the chair still strapped to the rod of one of these. They had not found him and he was presumed dead after 12 hours.

I read that story too, but in this case the suspected fish was a big tuna.

I will say, juvenile goliath grouper are fun.



But these full grown back breakers are beasts!!

Ahh Thanks. It was a quick glance for me.
