that's a good video, did you see the monster quest episode in florida when they went diving with 300 pound Goliath grouper I believe the segment was called killer fish II. They also went up to mille lacs in minnesota in the search for world record muskie.

If I caught that in a local pond, I'd cut my line and run

I used to watch all of chewonthis vidoes on youtube last year. Here's a good one where they're bringing in a 500 lb grouper on rod and reel pretty neat stuff.

The place where all of these videos are taken is Port Charlette Harbor and Boca Grande Pass. I hope to head down there in the next few weeks. A flats boat is sitting there in the warm sun waiting for me!
Check out the tarpon fishing down there, type "boca grande tarpon" on youtube. This is some of the best tarpon fishing in the world from April thru June.
