Goliath Grouper aka jewfish, and they get a lot bigger than that. Take a 10jb jack crevale stick a shark hook through its back and drop it down on a wreck in the Keys on a 50 lb class stand up outfit.... You have about 5 seconds to stop it before it retreats back into the wreck or coral head. Crazy power.

Harry, what is coral head? Captain Dangler spoke of it once during a seminar years ago in Belize but I've never heard about it since........until now that is.

Coral head is the top limit of the reef/wreck structure.

I believe coral head is what my friends sister, Coral gives to special friends of hers.
She is a very good dancer too....

Yup! That sounds exactly like the Coral head that the righteous Captain Dangler spoke of.

Thanks Matt

a dear departed friend of mine dove off the oil platforms in Louisiana doing maintenance, he used to say that these huge groupers would swim right up to him, mostly out of curiosity and bump him and wouldn't leave....he said that the way that he'd get them to leave him alone was to whack them right between the eyes with his wrench and then they'd just dodder off into the depths somewhat stunned....I always found that to be an amusing visualization....

looks like that diver was just happy to get his hand back
