Isn't the Jewfish a Federally protected fish?

"Florida State Record: Conventional tackle record for Jewfish (now
called "Goliath Grouper" and a protected spedies),is 680 pounds,
caught off Fernandina Beach on May 20, 1961 by Mr. Lynn Joyner." "

I doubt that any photos were taken.

There were because I remember seeing a picture of the fish WAY back
then and I believe that it was in a sporting magazine or some such.

I know one exists. Maybe just not on the web.

Conventional tackle record for Jewfish is 680 pounds, caught off Fernandina
Beach on May 20, 1961. It may be hard to find a picture of it. But try
http://www.landbigfish.com/gallery/g....cfm?photo=479 for a picture of a
larger one.

Google images had a few hits. This one went over 700 pounds and was
caught with a spear:
