Saltwater fisherman in Florida occasionally catch the Goliath Grouper, which can grow to over 500 (yes, five hundred!) pounds. They are federally protected fish - they cannot be kept at all - I was told "Yes, it went back into the water right after the photo was taken".
Some in these parts, including me, think it's time for at least a limited season for this fish, given the rebound in their population. I'll bet they're delicious!
Anyway, here's a shot of a nice fish (it's about 100 lbs., I believe).
