Man lands 550lb goliath grouper from fishing kayak

Holy crap. I would sound exactly like this guy if I ever landed a fish like that. 

 

Good on him for catching and releasing. That animal has lived for a good long while, deserves to be let go and spawn some better of its species.

I don't know what happened with that first post but anyway,,, those things are huge and especially in a kayak. One came out of nowhere and stole a big king mackerel that we were attempting to land on a boat down in Clearwater. Scare the sh*t out of all of us.....happened later that day again but it was a shark and not a grouper. 

Had he not released it, he would have been in some big time trouble. You are not allowed to restrain or attempt to take them out of the water. Very protected,

It's a thrill to get something that big on your line. Glad he released him.

This is crazy.. I think the biggest fish I ever caught was a Striped Bass at Lake Gaston. Props..

​Salmon fishing did it for me.

​I like the problem solving aspect to fishing. Trying to figure out how to trick them into biting an artificial lure is pretty challenging. Sometimes catching smaller fish on lighter tackle can be pretty damn fun.

my granddad would never ever fish for anything but tiny ass minnows and he'd have a blast

Sounds like the tinderbox to me....
