Sunday 2-24-13 went diving with my sister's boyfriend and about halfway through the dive we ran into a large friend. This Goliath Grouper came out from the shadows and started following us around. He must have been fed by divers before because he knew we were hunting lion fish and patiently waited for the first kill.
FYI for those who think I'm dumb enough to leave the fish on the spear when he took it...I did not...I made sure the spear was removed before he took the fish so he didn't get injured by my spear tip.
Also in case anyone is wondering....Goliath Groupers are one of the few species that can eat venomous fish without being bothered by them. So they are not at risk to eat the dead lion fish we spear. In case you were wondering :)
