Or you could, you know, dive down and see up close in a relaxed state.

Amazing...don't know about others but I hope that they released that "old man of the sea".

SUP fishing is going to add a whole new dimension getting the volume right on that next board!

I did read that they did let the old man go.

Great to hear that he was released. Speaking as a diver, gropers have the biggest personalities of anything under the surface (together with cuttlefish). They're the gentle giants of the seas - regulars at dive sites, always curious, happy to let you pat them and keen to follow you on your dive. Most divers get a kick out of seeing them.

I think that is the most pathetic, disgusting thing I have seen for a long time. It's about as sporting as going to a pig farm and shooting a pig in a pen.

Have u ever wondered "if fish could scream when suffering, like other animals, if sport fishing would be banned" Im sure parents wouldn't want to let there kids see that, Eg: like in the fishing shows. That Fish was in silent terror.

Yep and about as sporting as going to the supermarket for a couple of steaks from the cold meat section without witnessing the cattle getting a bolt gun to the head,i really hope you're a vegetarian,he wouldn't have known what fish he'd caught till it came to the surface,the only people that have the right to bag this are vegans,the rest are hypocrites
