I’ve heard tales of scuba divers accidentally swimming into the mouths of Grouper fish, meeting their untimely doom from being swallowed whole, because they thought the enormous fish’s agape jowls was an underwater cave. That’s how big these freakish fish can get. And when you factor in their DGAF nature – taking what they want when they want – the Goliath Grouper becomes a real dickhead.
One poor spear fisherman experienced the painful wrath of the Grouper as seen above. In probably what was the worst day in his spearfishing career, the guy had not one but three encounters with a gang of aggressive Groupers. It’s really hard not to laugh as the fishermen lets out a barrage of muffled curse words after the Groupers repeatedly steal his catch. The poor guy is like a nerd on the playground while the Groupers bully him around and steal his lunch money.
As you see in the video, Groupers are often called the “Labrador retrievers of the sea.” But I beg to differ. These creatures are the worst! If I see one in the water, I’m out of there. They’re more like a rabid, pestering, annoying as shit Labrador retrievers. Forget about sharks – Groupers eat sharks! And they attack swimmers!
I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again – Groupers are dickheads.
