According to the FWC, if you capture a goliath grouper, the fish must be immediately released alive, unharmed, and with proper fish handling techniques. The skeletal structure of a large goliath grouper cannot support its weight out of the water and if brought aboard a vessel or removed from the water, the fish may sustain fatal injuries. FWC recommends anglers also keep smaller goliath groupers in the water when removing a hook. #goliathgrouper #grouperfishing #grouperfish #fishflorida #southfl
