It looks like a giant snapper. I could be wrong, though. Does anybody know what this is?

Looks like a goliath grouper, or jewfish.
They get big, really big.
Don't know for sure, am not an icthylogist.

That had to have been the luckiest fish in the world until...
To: TigerLikesRooster
It's a grouper. Common in the Gulf of Mexico but not that big. Good eating, too.

What a shame. I would've tossed him back (with a forklift).

Okay, so how many people did it take to bring him in?
I'm also wondering how many fishermen he's consumed while they were trying to catch him...?

No, but I did stay at a Holiday Inn Express once. It is what we call a "big fish".

Re #12
I suspect he ate at least a few fisherman while growing up that big. No idea how many he killed while being caught.

Do you know where that picture was taken?
Am I mistaken or is the Jewfish now a protected species in the US?
In Texas now they are catch & release only.
To: TigerLikesRooster
Yup ... a Jewfish .. which is a just a big Grouper.
Common as mosquitoes here in Florida. Now where's my cocktail sauce?
