Many Kudos to the unsung hero of this vid,, the Captain of that blue boat who was both aware and polite in stopping his craft and backing out of the way.
RiverRat 2112 Ya it was nice of him, I wish more people could be that nice. I recently lost like a 45+inch Striper off a public landing in Maine when some jerkoff, that saw i was fighting a monster pulled in with his boat and pretty much intentionally ran my line right over just to be a dick... I felt like whipping the guy in the face with my rod lol, I had pretty light gear with 30lb line and was about 20 mins into the fight and had the fish just about worn down and ready to just reel him in ... it sucked.
imShootin 2k depending on where he caught it yeah. If that was around Australia it’d be illegal but if that was in the us he’d have to keep or kill it cause it’s an invasive species.
Don Russell well I mean if that was caught in the us he shouldn’t have let Iive because it being an invasive species it’s destroyed Florida’s ecosystem.
Once I saw you released that beautiful fish, I hit the subscribe button. As a diver, I love it when people don’t remove this big and beautiful creatures from the wild.
Awesome nothing like it thanks for sharing is it winter or summer when you made this video can you catch goliath grouper in the winter time in the harbor
13igTyme exactly white dude was a fucking dick I would have called him out on his bullshit if I was there trying to help and he’s talking like that towards me.
Granted that's not huge for its so a has and probably more like about 350. They do commonly get 600-700 lbs though. They used to fish for them with win has and steel cable in Ft Pierce at the Jetty where I grew up before they got protected status. Now they are quite prolific. They typically live inshore till about 50 to 100 lbs then start making their way offshore and metamorphosis from male to female. Sometimes they find a honeymoon like this one and just stay.
Kyle Scott Ok Kyylle. I feel what your saying because I noticed it too...but don't disrespect the "G" slim thug...,THAT...,was "YOUNG THUG..." Get it together.
Why talk Shit about a beginner? He obviously asked for this guy's help. When dealing with a giant fish the learning curve is steep. The guy was doing the best he could not knowing Jack Shit. Hopefully he learned a bit and will be better the next time someone asks for his help. If it's such a big deal the fisherman should have had experienced anglers there to help him land the fish AND film instead of asking random people for help.
Neat vid but having fished in that exact spot many times I can tell you that fish was/is basically a pet (or pest at times), I hand fed it a 20 lb cuda one day. I thought about trying to catch it but the local divers and fishermen frowned upon it. At least you didn't leave a hook in her like so many others have. The "You could feed a whole half of haiti with that" makes the vid for me :D
lewisc1980 Goliath grouper are not allowed to be kept by Florida Law. Any respectable fisherman typically follows the rules. Many people believe the rules should be changed, although I doubt this guy would break the law.
@@mauibuilt50 they nearly went extinct because spear fishermen thought it was great "sport" to shoot them, haul them back dead to the dock for a few pics, then throw them off the dock.
@@omcbob37 I find this extremely hard to believe. They wouldn't just throw out 400 lbs of meat. I've been an avid spear fisherman for years and I can tell you for a fact they they wouldn't throw them out. Spearing may have played a role in their decline but it wasnt the only reason, and it definitely wasn't because they were thrown away like trash fish.
Great catch..just wished the cam guy would had focused more on what’s going on out in the water ..👍 up for releasing the monster..all in all great video👌
Baitcaster reels usually sit on top of rod for clockwise recovery. As this one is under the rod while he is clearing in a hurry, winding anti-clockwise is correct. Anyone disagree????????
Was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see the whole thing on a scale to be honest but at the same time glad the fella didn't have to go through that ordeal. Beautiful fish, respect to those who were involved
Ah now i know.. Ft lauderdale 15st boat ramp. man.. if you got Goliaths there, then the whole coastways got'a bee teeming with them. I guess with the area originally being swamplands the fist found the man made structures even better habitat.
I am so glad you let it go and didn't listen to that lady who said it could feed half of Haiti. They don't realize you need to let those giants alone so they can continue to breed. Otherwise overfishing will wipe them out.
Have you seen DAY OF THE FISH yet? Did you know you can watch it free here? th-cam.com/video/fJbb7cHesB8/w-d-xo.html
“You could feed the whole half of Haiti with that” 😂😂😂😂

Wouldn’t want that line in my prop either .

I like that he let him go. A fish that big and old deserves to live
also he'd be in prison if he took it so yeah

Exactly if no law the grouper would’ve been serve with steak fries with nice cold beer
"are you going to release?" 🤣🤣🤣 No lady they are pulling a 400lb Goliath on to the dock. Lmao
Awesome nothing like it thanks for sharing is it winter or summer when you made this video can you catch goliath grouper in the winter time in the harbor
00:47 the guy reeling in the line had me rolling, someone please teach him how to😂
4:52 “You could feed half of Haiti with that”
I was rollin when he said that
South County Fishing correction* "a whole half of Haiti" lmao
Funny as fuck.. but you better believe he wasn't lying

#timelinecorrectionpolice!
Yeah, that aint gonna happen!! LOL!!
Put the rod down, so he puts the rod down...then sez not right down.....help me help awww bro get out of the way...c mon bro dude only tryna help
He did drop the rod and there was about as much urgency in that dude as what you get in graveyard parties! Damn he was smoking some good stuff!!
@@rossvickers4235 Just an inexperienced fisherman, trying to help.
13igTyme exactly white dude was a fucking dick I would have called him out on his bullshit if I was there trying to help and he’s talking like that towards me.
he said no cool cause he dropped the rod straight on the dock. Just reel it in and stand it up...
500 lbs? What, was that fish made out of lead?
It was not 500lbs😆!

That fish was about 200lbs maybe 250lbs but definitely nowhere near 500lbs or 350lbs!
Nope. Not 500lb definitely.
Is this down near Southport Raw Bar off 17th street causeway?
Anyone else get a kick out of dude reeling the other rig in upside down?! 😂
Lol.
Huge fish!! I think Goliath Grouper are protected tho? I'm impressed he landed it in 5 minutes!!!!
Easy to do with boat winch and 900lb test line
The skipper on that boat was aware & backed up .. what a pro 👍
The guy reeling backwards is hilarious
Good Morning Bro . . . . Where is this ramp? Cuba in the harbor . . . . . could be, right?
Wow...great job on the video.....
That's the second biggest largemouth bass I've ever seen.
biggest smallmouth bass cause its got the copper color
nah...its snakehead
IMHendle1 is a goliath grouper stupid ass
Herson Ramirez he’s obviously kidding stupid ass
IMHendle1 😂😂😂😂
Nice job on the release man , that was super cool
Now the million dollar ?Where was this and what did you use for bait😄
15 street boat ramp in ft lauderdale and probably a Bonita head
I didn't see it in the video. But does anyone know what kind of bait is using? And where is this I'm genuinely curious.
AWESOME TO RELEASE IT. GREAT WORK
Look at the rod bend :camera stays on his face 😂
Trueeee . Hmmmm
You can feed half of Haiti with that the guy said 😂😂😂
That dude in the background reeling the rod😂😂
Tyler Sinclair I couldn’t stand that and how he put the rod down. Kringyyy
Very nice love it🤘😉🎣🎣🎣
Is it essential to use stiff rods like that in this type of fishing?
"You could feed a whole half of Haiti with that!" Lmfao
Thank you for being a sportsman and releasing that beautiful fish. Great job.
What reel were you using?
What do you have on re-bar tighty whities?
Great Man.Great to see him release the fish.
He HAD TO THEIR ILLEGAL TO KEEP BECAUSE THEY ARE AN ENDANGERED SPECIES!
J Dub ok good to know.!
Lmfao... Slim thugga reeling that shit backwards, then just drops buddys pole on the metal dock. Damn that was a big as brem cuz
Kyle Scott Ok Kyylle. I feel what your saying because I noticed it too...but don't disrespect the "G" slim thug...,THAT...,was "YOUNG THUG..." Get it together.
lmfao , I was for sure he was gonna start running off with it to the pawn shop ,. and that looks like a 4 stroke yami which gotta weigh 350 to 500 .
Kyle Scott LOL, No kidding. Snoop reeling upside down and drops the rig then just gets in the way. Bahahahaah.
I've never seen someone reel like that haha he doesn't have the first clue what's going on

Title says 350, description says 500. The rest of us say 200 max. Clickbait
Agreed my brother!
What difference does it make the exact weight? The fish wasn't retrieved and wasn't weighed . End of discussion
Nice catch watching from Miami FL
What rod do you use ??
That’s a custom rod. Used to be 10 foot.
@@MulletTV I don't really understand how it used to be 10 foot if I see the rod is short?

He deserves to be free

He'd be pissed if it was from a river but that's a salt water fish lmao
Nah don’t sleep on Jeremy that dude is an OG, and he probably got a rod older than you

Jeovani Aguila that wasn't even a baitcaster it was a trolling reel
Eric L. Actually if you want to get technical it's a conventional reel .....
Idk about putting that rod between my legs like that... ouch...
I know huh!!!That's what I thought.😆
Please tell me wich rod reel and line you are using
Realy monster bigest,this fish is a garoupe?? Nice good fishing beatyfull
Was a bit disappointed that I didn't get to see the whole thing on a scale to be honest but at the same time glad the fella didn't have to go through that ordeal. Beautiful fish, respect to those who were involved
It's illegal to take a goliath grouper that size out of the water.
Good job mate 👍👏
