      drewbehr the Outrageous Acts of Science people say a Goliath grouper can grow to 8 feet, live 30 years, and learn well. They said this one-two approach to taking the diver's fish may well have been planned that way.

      Actually they are like big puppies. Their teeth are less than 1/8 inch and are very docile. People come from around the world to snorkel and dive with them. This idiot in the video made a very stupid mistake. Never keep your catch near you when you spearfish. It's like calling the dinner bell.

      The shark was probably trying to warn them about the giant groupper. but then he felt it wasnt worth the risk.

      SupaL33tKillar LOL, I assume you have seen the latest Shark vs Giant Grouper video, totally amazing! Frédéric Dumas (Jacques Cousteau's primary dive companion - Silent World) had a story of escaping a particularly difficult diving situation just to be confronted with a Goliath and recalled being humiliated at the thought of dieing as fish bait.
