Great video of a giant grouper taking a large shark and also a scuba
divers fin.

We were once anchored in the Dry Tortugas (Ft Jefferson) and a giant
grouper camped out in the shadow of our boat. Every once in a while
he would stick his nose out where we could see him. His mouth was as
big as a pie plate.

It is probably time to open up some take permits.
We tend to over shoot sometimes when we try to protect a species.



Right. How dare the fish want to live in *their* environment.
