Hi
I was telling a (true) story the other day about this MONSTER of a
fish we caught in The Gulf of Mexico from an oil rig. And the problem is I cant
remember what species of fish it was - can any of you guys help?
[...]
The name of the fish species too was something very pedestrian
sounding...
Unfortunately I cant quite remember the exact weight either, but all I
can tell you was that it was well over 1000 lbs.
But can anyone help me with what species it might have been?
A "cat-fish" or a "grouper" ??
How about a "Goliath Grouper" (formerly known as a "Jewfish")?
They can get up to 800 pounds, apparently, but other than that ;-) there's
nothing all that distinguished about their appearance...
