Not even 1000lb. fish IMO .
I've seen a replica measured [to the inch] of a 1650lb. marlin mounted on the floor of the King Kamehameha hotel while fishing in Hawaii , also many huge tuna at some of the tackle shops .
Grouper get some kind of worms in them when they grow old and large - no eat .
Friend of mine was attacked by a grouper while underwater welding in the Gulf [La.] it clamped onto his leg and tried to swallow it while dragging him around . A few times of burying a sharp object in its eyes it let go and looked elsewhere .
