Should be titled "Shark-Eating Goliath", otherwise it means a "shark is eating the Goliath".

Thank you for the English lession .
Nice shirt ....You are the best dressed scuba diver.
These groupers love Stone Crabs and lobster. They are everywhere in South Florida, from the shallows in the Evergaldes, and around bridges in the big cities like Miami. To the deep reefs and wrecks off shore. There's alot of them out there, they have made a great comeback.

Should go fishing sometime it’s really exciting and you just never know what size fish you might catch but just being out on the water or on the shore of a lake with friends relaxing taking in the sun listening to the birds enjoying Mother Nature makes it a wonderful time catching fish is just a bonus!!

When your reeling in a 7ft 300+lbs fish. That deserves EVERYONE'S respect. And too think they get bigger than that...!!!
I remember as a child in the early and mid 1970's our family going to Cholla Bay, Mexico for sport fishing derbies. Back then the Goliath Grouper wasn't protected and I can remember dozens of these fish being brought in. They are also delicious; the meat is light, fluffy and hardly fishy at all.

Marine biologists often don't care what other people think of them, nor what might be stylish. They may be diving in long-sleeved shirts and maybe jeans, as common-sense protection against the sun and whatever might sting them. The latest in dive gear may be beyond their means.

Great documentary. At age 81 I no longer dive but sure enjoyed the underwater scene a and information. Once 50 years ago I hooked either a Jewfish or Goliath from a 16 foot boat in the Florida Keys, after 2 hours, it spat out the hook but it looked almost as big as my tiny boat.

great to sea such big fish. Ive a photo from the 80's of a massive fish my dad caught off Steep Point ( western most point in Australia), while he was running fish/dive charter boat out of Shark Bay. Im not sure of the scientific name, but ive only ever known them to be called Slimy Cod. At 6feet 11 inches and 298kg (around 650 lb) its the largest of its kind ive seen.

I would love to be with these creatures as a job. Groupers are my absolute favorite. I’ve always had a fascination of the ocean it is such a beautiful and unique environment that we should respect and appreciate living with these ancient creatures
WOW, good to see their comeback
Really enjoyed this episode 👌🏽
Absolutely amazing footage!
Well this is epic to see the shark- eating fish
Yeah they’re awesome and kinda scary to see when you’re not expecting one! Great info on this species!
Is there a new season coming out?
Outstanding filmography and documentary on these Goliath Groupers! Fascinating to see first hand with the guidance of the State government, Florida State University and local experts just what expertise it takes to study this creature, it’s life cycle, environment and contributions to the Florida coast. I love how Zeb thoroughly explains why he’s there to understand what locals experience versus what the scientific community documents. The reasoning and incredible filming is fabulous. Thanks to Natgeo for bringing this to us all!

I was on the Skyway bridge on the fishing pier, and saw a guy catching a large stingray. Suddenly a goliath grouper attacked the stingray, which did it's best to try to not be eaten. It was a relatively small one - maybe three and a half to four feet long. (It still looked huge!)

Yes, a rather childish narration style.
The closet fish that acts , strikes and run after a catch rather it be the bait or another ….Calico Bass . Best fishing experience in the sea weed in So. California. A Calico will follow the other Calico that been caught and if once you hook the bass let it drift back down and reel in again. More times that not you’ll bring in two Calicos at the same time. Love it ❤❤
The subtitles move on too fast. The person will still be speaking and the subtitles will have already moved on to the next sentence. It's annoying.
As a scuba diver I've spent a lot of time with much larger groupers than I see on this show. I've always thought them to be diver-friendly as I've fed them lots down around 80' deep. They eat a ton of small stuff. I don't think I fed them anything larger than my fist if I recall correctly. So I was surprised to hear of them attacking divers. That's new to me.

Boarding a Goliath grouper is considered harvesting them and is against the law. Seems like they should know this!! Florida law says "Large goliath groupers should be left in the water during release. The skeletal structure of large goliath grouper cannot adequately support their weight out of the water without some type of damage. If a large goliath is brought on-board a vessel or out of the water, it is likely to sustain some form of internal injury and therefore be considered harvested."

Oh i can tell you those groper are indeed attacking the diver deliberately.... but not because they think the diver is food, they are trying to either assert dominance and or intimidate the diver in order to get the food... and this is a perfectly natural behavior.
Wow! There like a XXXL mouth Bass ! I remember having a couple blackened Grouper sandwiches when vacationing in Florida, they were delicious! The way fish fight when hooked it must not hurt as much as it would us, I know if I had a hook in my mouth I would just be dead weight
If you go below 60 feet I thought you have to decompress before reaching the top. I know it also depends on how long you've been down, too. Also, is a "venting tool" not required per FWC regulations?
