MASSIVE 500+lb Goliath Grouper!!

In this episode of BlacktipH, I go fishing for massive Goliath Groupers and
Sharks with Ben Friedman from Barstool Outdoors and my good buddy Dr. Robert Borrego. The day started with Ben and I catching bonitos (false albacore) to use for bait. While we were catching bonito, a huge Dusky Shark came up to the boat, and of course, Ben wanted to catch it. We quickly rigged up bait for the big shark and tossed it in the water. The shark wasted no time and inhaled the bait! After an intense fight, Ben landed his first-ever Dusky Shark. From there, we moved to a spot where the Goliath groupers hang out. Borrego quickly caught a Bonito at the new location. Ben and I rigged up the bonito to catch a massive Goliath Grouper! It didn't take long for a monster grouper to come up to the boat and eat the bait! This fish was massive!! It proceeded to drag the 33ft boat by the stern and pull over 100lb of drag! Ben was holding on for dear life! Ben battled this sea monster for over five minutes before we landed it safely beside the boat. This fish was by far the most massive Goliath grouper of the year, well over 500lbs! Ben couldn't believe how big the fish was; he was in shock! Once we released the massive grouper, both Davis and I each caught a Goliath grouper before heading back to the dock.

You boys are a credit to modern fishermen, catch & release, respect for nature and great attitude. good work.

[@stoyannikolov1017]

They dont relese lil

[@derwones]

I understand it’s a sport but never got the point of knowingly hooking fish and giving them pain just to release them afterwards. Not even the appreciation of finishing them off and not wasting the food.

[@LordDRockMusic]

​@@derwonesParticularly when deep sea fishing. Those fish are not meant to be changing depths rapidly and having huge swings in water pressure. Messes with their swim bladders and affects their life expectancy.

[@Unsensitive]

​@derwones same here.
I fish, but only when I plan to keep fish for eating.
I enjoy fishing, but senseless harm to an animal for my enjoyment seems cruel.

[@Motivational.Mindsets]

BlacktipH is the best fisherman ever!

[@templarzrise5086]

When the lines get cut while the hook is still in them...would this eventually rust away? Or go down it’s digestive track and kill them?

[@gustavoribeiro1878]

they don't care if the fish will die afterwards that's unfortunate

[@nameless3919]

It will rust away, but the chances of survival are decreased by a relevant percentage. That's why catch and release is regarded by many institutions as nonsense, because even if you get the hook out of the mouth, catching a fish and releasing it afterwards is doing a lot of harm to the fish. So it's best to just kill it and actually take the benefits in form of resources, so the effort wasn't useless.

[@nameless3919]

But it also heavily depends on the hook. If you deep hooked a fish, meaning that the hooks got caught deep inside of the fish, it's better to leave it inside. There is a study that found out that 77% of deep hooked fishes lose the hook after 9 days. In this case the hook got caught in the mouth of the fish. In this case the hook will cause almost no problems at all.

Just curious, does breaking the hook and leaving it into the sharks mouth not affect them?

I was wondering the same thing. It looks like they just cut the line for the grouper as well 🤔

This comment is over 2 years old, but the hook doesn’t interfere with the fish’s life and will rust over time, eventually falling out
