Is this one of those "spot the phony" object pics?

looks like a Grouper. Some species can reach 800 + pounds and over 2 meters in length

Here's a link to Goliath Grouper - looks like a different species (from Goliath) but they sure do get big...

okay I saw the Video above.. maybe its true! The pic does look suspicious though.. the boat appears to be to large and the man too small and some lighting seems off.. but maybe I'm just seeing to many fakes to believe anything anymore.. If its real... That sucker is huge.. how would you get in the boat? Crane?

Got an email with it awhile ago. It's a grouper, not a world record though. It's either the FLorida or Lousiana state record. 432 pounds (or around there if my memory serves me right). Caught by a medicine student.

WOW!!! Never mind the fish, look at the size of his foot compared to his head! This must be how they do it in porno shoots with wide angle lenses. Umm, never mind, I better leave this thread.
