Where there's a lot of fish there's a lot of
predators so, more prevalent than anywhere else, I think you probably see more sharks and
goliath groupers, if you're familiar with those. We see those more than anywhere on the artificial rigs and structures that we hunt! If you plan on doing any rig hunting I highly recommend it be with
experienced divers or divers that you trust. A lot of times we do an one man up one man down method, for each two guys in the water we only have one gun. That way if someone's down there and needs assistance, they've got someone right on top of them ready to help pull, ready to keep that fish from getting wrapped up in the legs and getting cut off or sharked or eaten by one of the goliath groupers. I've had days where the goliath groupers are so bad, they swallow every fish that we pull up. I remember one time that we had a goliath grouper eat two or three 30 pound permits and swallowing them whole, like there's no problem. They get upwards of several hundred pounds so, just keep that in mind, if you plan on going out there, make sure you're with some
guys that you trust.
