Fast-acting

Website www.myfwc.com/marine provides a likeness and description of the so-called Goliath grouper, also known as the Jewfish. Other websites provide stories and personal accounts about giant-size fishing action from the striped fish, which also appear to sport mohawk-like top-fins.

The smaller ones, that is to say under a foot-long, appear to be friendly and surface in clusters near the casual day-packer carrying energy bars and nuts. Actually, the movements of other creatures in the area (i.e. retaining pond) such as tortoises, birds, snakes (some sub-merged) cause the staring fish variety to rise to the surface of the water, where they peek out and splash in circles, struggling to maintain their own finny volition.

At the present time, Jewfish are a protected fish variety in the state of Florida.
