Go Fish! (78 of 365)

One_Big_Grouper[2009]
Check out this guy! Can you imagine trying to reel him in? This is a giant grouper. They are heavily over-fished and sadly, many of these guys don't get to live to be so large. They can grow to weigh 800 lbs!

The Monterey Bay Aquarium is a great resource for sustainable seafood choices. You can download a Seafood Watch pocket guide here. If you're a seafood lover, it's a handy guide to the best choices for sustainable wildlife.
