On my first ship wreck dive in Fort Lauderdale Fl. my dive buddy swam around
the bow out of my sight. Moments later when I caught up with him he was wide eyed
and pointing repeatedly to a port hole in the wreck.
I swam up and looked in. I saw nothing but black. I looked back at him and he was still motioning to the port hole. So I stuck my light in to see better. What I saw was still black
but then I could see that it was a fish eye. That eye was near the size of a paper plate.
When we surfaced I asked him what it was. He said it looked to him like a jewfish.
I take his word for it. I could not see more than that eyeball.

I fish inshore and offshore all along the gulf coast from Apalachicola FL to Port Fuchion LA and Galith grouper population has sky rocketed in the last 20 years. Since they are on the endangered species list no one can keep them, no market plus heavy fines and jail time means , screw the jew fish. Those bastards and other groupers eat everything on an artificial reef, which means fewer snapper and trigger, which means more regulations...... but I guess you probably seen it first hand when you were diving.On my first ship wreck dive in Fort Lauderdale Fl. my dive buddy swam around

I remember watching a Jacques Cousteau special in the 60's where they were diving in the Sea of Cortez and encountered a Jew fish that they said was well over 1000 lbs.
I swear it could have eaten one of those little French dudes tank and all.

I've seen a few videos where someone is reeling in a little shark or some other fish, and out of nowhere one of the goliath's fly in and take their catch.

That's a good one. I'm jealous of you guys in whitetail country. They taste so much better that mule deer.

i'm hoping i can get away, with my current situation it may not happen..Time will tell...The season just started here. The guy who sent me this,owns 1000acres ranch, and he sets up trap cameras which is where this picture came from. He only allows people he knows on the ranch. Has 2 rules: respect the ranch, and respect the animals on it..other than that your free to roam. He'll even get u a horse you can use.
