There used to be stories of divers disappearing off the coast of Southern Florida every year ... that was what I was told when I lived down there ... as the Jewfish being 600-700 pounds could be large enough to swallow a person ... I guess the best thing to do in that instance is to carry a loaded bang stick, a quick explosion on one of those things would stop it from feeding for some time, if for every - blow it's head off.
... but on another note, I was under the impression that it was not legal to even target the Jewfish, as I know they were protected, maybe the ban has been lifted since the population is so dense ... from that guy's video there seem to be quite a few, as I have fished that area for tarpon dozens of times and never even thought of big Jewfish.
