New Giant Fish Species

Post by fishnislife » Sun Aug 24, 2008 8:55 pm

New species of Pacific Grouper found not to be related to the Atlantic Goliath Grouper.

Can you imagine hooking into one of those? I saw a show where they were targeting the Goliath and I was in amazement evertime that fish surfaced and they hauled it on board. I think it was Larry Dahlberg on The Hunt for Big Fish.

That fish looks big enough to inhale that swimmer!

When youre up to your rear end in alligators,its hard to remember that the initial plan was to drain the swamp.

Remember:
Water = Poop,
Wine = Health.

Therefore, it's better to drink wine and talk stupid, than to drink water and be full of poop
