No kidding.
Looks like he was fishing for Jewfish. Piled up on a bridge like that with that heavy of tackle. Wonder how long it took to get it up?

Well, the other option is to admit that he broke the law and probably killed the fish when they took it out of the water to weigh it.

Dave, don't know if you were making a joke, but they were originally called jewfish and then the PC crowd decided that was no bueno so they changed the name to Goliath.

I don't think he's joking. I think he's just using the original name.

I thought the Goliath was a deepwater fish. Off Louisiana they are caught at the deep water rigs.

Yeah, I was aware. I'm not too high on the pc crowd. I call it Jewfish.
I'm pretty certain they are one of the most shallow of all the grouper. I don't think they are really found past a few hundred feet. And I know they are often found in well under 100.

Goliath are a shallow-water grouper, often inhabiting waters less than 50', as shallow as 25-30'. They do live at the deep water rigs, but they stay up in the water column.
