BlacktipH – Huge Florida Keys Grouper!

WEBSITE: http://blacktiphfishing.org

I was fishing for goliath groupers with my buddy Rich Tudor from the TV show Saltwater Experience accompanied by his two sons. After missing one, we hooked up with a monster. Thanks to the 100lbs of drag in the Okuma Makaira, we managed to get this fish away from the sturcture. It was a monster! This goliath grouper must have weighed over 300lbs!
