Crikey, they weren't kidding with the name. I suppose when you're that size, being petted by divers is just your due. Well done harvesting the lionfish - they're invasive pests. I wondered if the grouper was waiting for you to take it off your spear as, apparently they are one of the few species that can eat them. I imagine there's a specialised technique and the lionfish facing the right direction would play a large part in it. 😊

They were over in Croatia in the 80s, but they managed to get her tagged so no one could kill her!! She could still be down there as they can live for over 40 years.

So some fun information about this. Divers and scientists have been trying to teach these Groupers to find and eat the Lionfish, as they are some of the very few predators who can actually handle the Lionfish poison. Theres studies nowadays where the Groupers ARE actually picking up what people have been trying to teach them, and the study so far is turning into a success! What you are seeing here could be a case of a grouper who learned from its parents how to hunt them, and why the grouper here is thus so friendly with humans.

Er, the grouper watched, it didn't help.
No it doesn't
I too would be fascinated if an intelligent ape took the liberty to kill spiny lions in my reef
Lol idiots
No it did not know. But still cool
The diver petting the grouper makes me really happy :)
Truth is, fish have a protective film of mucus over their scales that when removed opens the skin up to infection. By stroking a fish you remove the protective film.
@@DrCrabfingers I'm pretty sure that only really applies when you're roughly handling small fish for extended periods of time. A pat or two on a fish the size of a grouper isn't really all that harmful, or so I think anyways.
@@gluesniffingdude People underestimate wild animals. If a human touching them was enough to harm them they wouldn’t have survived for ages in the wild.
Diver: “ah shit, I forgot the Roomba” Goliath Grouper: *”SEA ROOMBA REPORTING FOR DUTY SIR!”*
That's so cool. He's just hanging around, seeing what the humans are up to.
Like a big water guard dog haha! It's so weird to see these big fishes be so calm cuz I've so far only seen them fight off fishers.
That gentle giant could snap your arm into in a second.... fast as lightning.
oh wow
but they bing chilling
Yeah but they wont
@@internetduck1114 they realy be godaddy chilling tho.
Good thing he was *GENTLE* ... XD
The diver pet the grouper at the end that’s so cute
Fax
Diodon are diver pet egally with a more cute face . Taste and Colors . Here in Mediterannée they are Groupers but not large like that .
The grouper take it like a champ
@@Pamimiii 🐟= good
That was too cool. You're a lucky individual to have experienced that
Awesome video. It's amazing to see grouper thinking and being curious
Careful, curiosity is a predatory trait!
@@TheBishop12 yes, especially with these grouper. I have seen videos of grouper being territorial. It can get hairy
@@TheBishop12 ya know this explains a lot about women…
I love how the diver thanked the grouper by petting it... Rewards for helping...
Very nice, that's a good sign the grouper is showing interest.
Homie stroking that goliath like hes his pet
Lionfish: I have no natural predators! Goliath Grouper: Want one?
For a second there, I thought I was being noisy and someone was shushing me.
Crikey, they weren't kidding with the name. I suppose when you're that size, being petted by divers is just your due. Well done harvesting the lionfish - they're invasive pests. I wondered if the grouper was waiting for you to take it off your spear as, apparently they are one of the few species that can eat them. I imagine there's a specialised technique and the lionfish facing the right direction would play a large part in it. 😊
That's exactly how dogs help me with projects around the house...they watch
Atlantic goliath grouper : good boy Giant grouper: very very bad boy
I've been diving since I was 14. I once saw a grouper the size of me, it just swam right under me peacefully. I wouldn't pet it to not irritate it's skin but the temptation was there.
I like how the grouper actually just kinda sticks around.
Grouper was like “ you guys catching a lot?”
Wow!! I never knew that Groupers got SO BIG! Looks totally friendly, and interested in have a Lionfish snack!!
They get much bigger than this.
Some groupers get the size of a small car.
There's always a bigger fish. Especially with Groupers. This one's little.
@@genericalfishtycoon3853 Indeterminate growth kicks ass.
Wow that's cool to see a grouper side by side with people and help hunt...mind blowing
The grouper was like "is this guy bothering you?"
The grouper was happy he had a new fren to hang out with.
After watching this video the Grouper might be replacing the dog as man’s best friend.
There is sea lions for that role
My goodness that thing is huge, needed to see one next to a human... did not disappoint.
Just a juvenile...
I like how it was curious as to "the nasty stingy things" that were going away after the divers came in. Oddly enough. I feel like it understood how important the humans visit was. It just didnt understand the general context lol...
Its almost like the groupie came up to the diver and the lionfish like "Yeah thats him, thats the guy" lolol
I thought for sure the grouper was going to snatch the lionfish off the guy's rod. But no, he just acted as a watchdog.
“Look buddy, food!” grouper: *another human to give me pets*
That one patriotic grouper needs a medal...☝️💪
Patriotic????? Wtffffff its a fish bro
@@captainjacksparrow5735 Being patriotic is as simple as doing the right thing for your community because it's right. The ocean is his country The lionfish is bad for his country
I had no idea that grouper got so big. He wants some of the attention too and maybe a little snack from one of the divers? I’m sure the pet on the head was a bonus for him!
love how the grouper is like “whatcha doin?”
New subscriber here from Manila Philippines. Please stay safe and healthy.
We have lots of those giant grouper fish here in philippines. Tastes great when grilled dipped in soy sauce with chilli and lime.
Keep some for breeding though.
Lucky some countries it's illegal to kill them. If you get caught even trying it's gonna cost you $$$$
Thats why sad for us eating this kind fish. Kaya siguro ang mga grouper sa pinas maliit lang.
@@wars5438 Nobody cares about big tuna and tens of thousands are eaten everyday.
Seeing just a random fish THAT BIG is honestly scary..
It's easy to forget how big some fish actually are.
I was a little taken aback by it actually, I was watching the divers but looking at the grouper I was just thinking Jesus Lord that's a big fish!
He doin' his part!
Lionfish seem to congregate in groups around structures. Make Lionfish bus stops at short distances to swim to and do a cull often. Kill in place without gathering them and leave the crabs to do the clean up.
That's a grouper?! Damn thing is as big as the diver! Glad it's friendly.😮
Before long you'll have him fetching,rolling over,setting up,and ATTACKING.
I wonder, with how massive those fish are, and I assume their inherently large brains (by fish standards), are they any smarter than other fish? And if so, by how much?
same.... plenty of the videos I have seen seem to indicate some type of curiosity, and watching them stalk prey, it certainly looks like its conscious process to a degree...
Bigger brain generally means more intelligence, definitely longer memory.
I can't help but find it adorable seeing the diver petting the goliath grouper, even though I know that being in such close proximity to a wild animal is unwise at best.
That was so cool! Thank you for sharing this.
Good video, thanks for your sharing with this video
Proud of 'em (:
Grouper was like I got brotha
Kinda like a big 'old Labrador :) Great video
Beautiful👍👍👍👍❤
Hello tame humans welcome to the ocean floor my name is Mr Grouper So what you guys doing,no worries I'll watch
Ghjfvb
Okay
🙂n
?
😌😟
Diver: *paths grouper* Good job buddy!! ^^ Grouper: I do not understand.
The grouper is like hey you got dibs on that? You going to eat it? Lol🤣
Grouper is a class ass he's such a good fishy I think he deserves a serving of the fish he eats and some fish food
wow that is amazing ..
Fish: "Hewo, I am Fred." Diver: "Howdy Fred, have some pats." Fred the fish: "Aww thanks. Imma go down dis way hurr." Diver: "Atta boy Fred, that's a good lad." Fred the fish: "I float by this rock and watch hurr."
"Oh, hey there. You taking Jerry? Cool, cool, he's a jerk. Showed up a year or so ago and won't leave." "I KNOW WHERE YOUR FAMILY LIVES, CARL!" "LOL enjoy prison."
The grouper new exactly what you were doing. When the spear pierced the lion fish it let out the equivalent of a scream that the grouper clearly heard but wasn’t bothered by it.
Noice
Two of my bucket list. Swimming with a grouper and stroking it. And spear fishing Lionfish - a truly ecological activity holiday.
Goliath groupers are awesome. I'd love to go swimming with them and it's so great that they're now gobbling up lionfish.
The whole area looks dead
Here before more comments appear😎 Y’all have a great day!
“Nah water ape, last time y’all fed me I had a hook for 2 years”
what an absolute fucking mammoth of a creature. truly marvelous.
Tree stumps
That was a really big fish. I remember once when we caught one, it weighs almost 200 lbs
my granddad used to dive at this one shipwreck and he had pictures of this absolutely MASSIVE grouper that they befriended. He and his team would go down and knock on the side of the ship, wait a minute, and then she'd come out and swim around with them. They were over in Croatia in the 80s, but they managed to get her tagged so no one could kill her!! She could still be down there as they can live for over 40 years.
So some fun information about this. Divers and scientists have been trying to teach these Groupers to find and eat the Lionfish, as they are some of the very few predators who can actually handle the Lionfish poison. Theres studies nowadays where the Groupers ARE actually picking up what people have been trying to teach them, and the study so far is turning into a success! What you are seeing here could be a case of a grouper who learned from its parents how to hunt them, and why the grouper here is thus so friendly with humans.
Fishe
what happened to all the comments? lol
The comments were turned off at that time
I had no idea the comments were turned off... I fixed it last night.
They just look like good old buddies hangin up so damn cool!!!
"Wacha got there bud, ah one of them buggers."
That is some of the most amazing footage. What a beautiful fish “Here spot, let’s pet you”👍
I thought Grouper ate Lion fish, so I think he may have been expecting a treat.
I love how the grouper comes up like “you guys uh… you guys gonna eat that?”
he just comes over to the alpha predators of the world like "hey guys watcha doin?"
This reminds me of the video where the guy is sitting in a chair next to a river and a grizzly plops down next to him.
This is just cool and sweet. Didn't know that the actual 'dogs of the sea' were Groupers. 🐶
The Grouper was analogous to a Rottweiler that loves food
I was watching like "is he gonna-YES PET THE GIANT FISH!!!"
Grouper: Are you...ummm, gonna eat that? LOL
Glad to see that they have recovered.
It's cool how fearless they are
Love that fish they are like a big dog
The partnership between humans and large sea animals and fish is quite cool
Grouper aka DNR: You guys got a fishing license? Diver: Yes sir, I’ll pet your head while you read it. Grouper: Ok license is good. Have a great day fella’s. Catch as many of these spikeydoo’s as ya want.
Grouper To Lionfish: Dude, I'm glad I'm not you...
"Oh hey guys, yall like lionfish too? That's cool, I'm just not in the mood for tropical food right now"
The first thing I thought was, "Honey, I blew up the goldfish" 😆
That’s a huge fish being curious, like hey boo-boo what cha doin?
