Top 5 Largest Goliath Groupers Caught

In this episode, we recall the Top Five Biggest Goliath Groupers ever caught on BlacktipH. Number Five was an estimated 400+lb goliath grouper caught fishing with NFL Linebacker Sam Barrington. Number Four was an estimated 500+lb goliath grouper that I caught in 2014 using a handline. At the time, this was the largest goliath grouper I've ever caught. Number Three was a truly monster goliath grouper caught by my buddy Trace Frieden. This fish weighed well over 600lbs! Number Two is currently the largest goliath grouper I've ever caught on rod and reel. This fish weighed more than 600lbs! The biggest goliath grouper ever caught was with my friend Max McKinley. This fish was scary big and must have weighed between 650-700lbs! This grouper literary weighed more than the hull of the boat we caught it on.

Gag Groupers, Red Snappers and Triggers in the Gulf:

[erikvanlaecken]

when you struggle to catch a 5 pound bass and then you see this

[Biobele]

That fish must recognise you by now, you were catching the same fish over and over as it was growing bigger

[terryallen]

The bend in those rods is unbelievable without them snapping.

[Urawizardarry]

Ive eaten many grouper sandwiches never thought one could eat me

[PiperFishing]

Wish there was some way to reliably estimate weight for these things.

[jayb]

I'm glad you let those big guys go back. Magnificent creatures! Thanks!

[RyanIzfishing]

What a ridiculous action packed video! You are truly the master of Goliath Grouper fishing! 👇🏻 how many people love watching Josh catch Goliaths!

[terrybryant]

That was insane. When you was showing that giant group at number 5 I was like...what the hell is number one going to be like. That was so much fun to watch. I didn't even know grouper got that big.

[STREETBEEFS_]

Man you gotta show me how to catch a grouper sometime!!!

[summerdais]

For 19 long years I have wondered what my ex-husband and I encountered on a trip to Mexico. It terrified us both, and he drew in water, which led to him becoming quite ill. I am 99% positive this was what we saw! I think my dad even mentioned grouper as a possibility, but this was back when information wasn't as readily available. I focused in on a different fish he mentioned. It probably influenced me when he shared his own terror of running into a large one unexpectedly. Sadly, he passed nearly 6 years ago, or I would call him rn. Missing him pretty bad tonight. His brother, my beloved uncle, died this past week and his beloved grandson graduated salutatorian. Friends announced to me I was getting a puppy while talking to my cousin. Got her on the anniversary of my wedding to my ex. The trip to Mexico was to celebrate our 10th anniversary. These were just a couple of the biggest things. In a few minutes I celebrate another birthday without him.

My ex and I don't communicate, but I saw him recently. Due to the nature of our being in the same room (serious medical emergency), he doesn't remember it. I'm still tempted to ask (our) daughter to show him a picture of this species of fish to close that 1% doubt.

Hm, sorry to anyone if they read that. This was also 30 years from my own "HS graduation". First dance recital that was fully open since Covid...and dealing with my mom's pain/health and slated date for a hip replacement. Tornado where that uncle lived near my cousin. Lost another caregiver. It's been a hairy, crazy month. No wonder I am thinking on the past so much. Time to take the puppy out. Time and life go on...



Until they don't. Life feels very short, especially having had such a trying beginning. Just as some things have seen some improvements, that I appreciate life and feel...content...I realize I'm going into the sunset of my life. I know I will never date or marry, but I am forging a beautiful life with loving friends and developing interests. I realized the breed of puppy I have may outlive me or be with me until I'm closing in on 70.

Love that he unhooks the fish when he can. Great videos!

[e.cabanjr]

Amazing video! It was a lot of fun watching you haul those giants in. When you are in the water next to the Goliath Groupers, that is when the enormity of the creatures mass can really be appreciated. Thank you for the entertainment.

[karmy]

[marybethtyson]
