There's a reason goliath groupers are called the garbage disposals of the sea — they eat everything in sight, including sharks apparently.

A group of fishermen were able to witness a 500-pound grouper's "rare" meal during a fishing trip off the coast of Everglades City, Fla., last week.

Captain Jimmy Wheeler with Everglades Fishing Company watched as someone in his group caught a 3-foot shark. As the fisherman started reeling the creature in, a large shadow appeared. Wheeler instantly knew what was going to happen next.

Same here. We were spearfishing in the gulf and we heard what can only be called a "thrumming" sound underwater... This was above the sound of our breathing apparatus.. Out of the murk came this baby Goliath Grouper.. It was the size of a small inflatable raft.
The other guys went after it with spearguns. Took a whole lot to stop this little beast...
Once we got it on the deck we found out it was full of worms.. yuck!
