Grouper Archives

When Heather recently went Goliath Grouper fishing with our friends from Big Bully Outdoors, little did she know that she would be catching not one, but TWO Goliath Grouper!

And she probably didn’t know that the water was going to be so cold that day…

But when you land your very first Goliath, it’s part of the ritual to get in the water and take a pic with the giant fish (it is illegal to take the adult Goliath Grouper out of the water for any reason fyi).

Great job Heather!

Make sure to stick around for the full video as she goes handlining for another Goliath after her cold dip in the water.

Enjoy.

I can’t make this bad luck bananas on board stuff up folks…

Here is a video note from our friend Capt. Ben Chancey (of Chew On This):

“After eating a banana, angler gets pulled in by a Goliath Grouper”

Now if you never read the funny (yet informative) “Top 5 Myths About No Bananas On Board Your Fishing Boat” then I highly recommend you read that here so you know exactly why bananas are bad luck on boats.

In that blog post, you will learn about all of the bad things that can happen to you if and when you decide to bring a banana on board your boat…

One of which is falling overboard…

The only good news in this video is that they actually retrieved the rod and reel, but it can only be because the banana had been discarded…

Enjoy.

Earlier this morning, we posted a wild video of a Goliath Grouper not only stealing a spearfisherman’s catch, but dragging the diver along with him while he ran off with his spear (watch that video here).

So when we saw our friend Darcizzle (from Darcizzle Offshore) take on a Goliath Grouper for her first time, we had to share it with you.

Darcizzle had an incredibly easy time getting the monster fish up in just the first 30 seconds, but then the Goliath Grouper realized what was going on, and he made a serious run for the structure….

Watch the full battle between Darcizzle and the Goliath Grouper below.

You’ll discover why these pesky large fish can be tough to land.

Enjoy.

If you were one of the few that missed the Viral Fishing Video called, “This Is How You Land 43-inch Snook From One Of The Snookiest Fishing Piers In Florida Like a BOSS”, then make sure to check that video out next.

Why?

Well, it was part one of this two-part Juno Beach Pier snook fishing video with Ryan Izquierdo.

In the first video, Ryan and his teenage fishing buddies land monster snook after monster snook right off the pier (Juno Beach Pier).

And stay tuned til’ the end as these guys actually land a small Goliath Grouper as well.

Enjoy.

Important Note: When handling big snook like this, always make sure to hold them with two hands (where your second hand is giving them stomach support). It will help ensure they live long after you release them.

In the past year or so, we have reported on quite a bit of positive news regarding lionfish.

To begin, we featured the incredible video of “The Ultimate Lionfish Killer” that plucked 200 lionfish from a sunken airplane off of Pensacola. Click here to watch that amazing lionfish video.

And then we showed the brave Grouper that sucked down a lionfish like it was an oyster! Click here to watch this video.

Well, we found this wild video that was uploaded by angler Jimmy Nelson (of Extreme Fishing Adventures) where 2 Grouper fight over a lionfish!

With all of the talk about lionfish having no natural predators in Florida, who would have ever thought we’d see grouper fighting over a lionfish.

So the great news is that apparently not only are Nassau Grouper not afraid of Lionfish, but they are willing to fight over the delicious fish.

Nassau Grouper = Salt Strong

People just can’t seem to get enough of the Goliath Grouper! Anytime there is a new video that even remotely involves a Goliath Grouper, it always seems to go Viral.

And I guess we can’t blame em, as watching someone try to reel in a massive fish like a Goliath Grouper is pretty addictive and contagious. It’s not every day that you get a chance to battle with a 300-700 pound beast of a fish!

It’s also pretty funny to see these massive fish “Slap” anglers, bite divers, and even break fishing rods…

Because of that, we put this epic Top 10 Goliath Grouper Video Catalog together. It is the absolute best Goliath Grouper videos we could find on the Internet… and we think you will agree.

And if you think your angler friends would find these Goliath Grouper videos as awesome as I did, please share it with them – I’d really appreciate it. Pa-POW!

Note: These are in NO particular order. They are all pretty amazing videos.
