F'n Groupered!

Grouper fish can grow quite large, with the giant grouper reaching lengths of up to 9.8 feet and weights exceeding 882 pounds, while the goliath grouper can grow up to 8 feet long and weigh as much as 800 pounds.

Grouper can maneuver a lionfish to the surface before attacking its underbelly, where it doesn’t have poisonous spines.

I worked with a Navy Lieutenant who was a Salvage Diver. He said they would sometimes practice their mixed gas diving around deep oil rigs and meet Grouper that were the size of Volkswagen Beetles. He said they were pretty sure that many of the rig divers that went missing were eaten whole by these Groupers.
