The Goliath Grouper is the biggest species of grouper that you can fish for in Florida but the Warsaw Grouper is the biggest one you can keep. So while you’ll hear stories of Goliath Grouper being caught weighing more than a Buick those fish never hit the scales, at least not in the past few decades.

This 400-pound Warsaw Grouper caught in the 2021 Sarasota Slam fishing tournament blew spectators away at the tournament’s weigh-in held at Marina Jack. Fun fact about me, that marina used to be named Marina Jacks because it was co-owned by two guys named Jack, one of whom was my grandfather (dad’s dad).

Captain Nick Froelich told the Bradenton Herald it took all seven people on the boat to get the 400-pound behemoth into the boat. Just look at this friggin’ beast of a fish.
