A Houston man fishing in Venice this past weekend reportedly hauled in the third largest grouper ever caught on a hand crank. Cullen Greer, 28 was fishing near an offshore rig 35miles of the Gulf Coast of Mexico on Saturday morning May 31st, 2014 when he thought he had snagged on a something. It was a Warsaw grouper weighing much larger than him. The grouper measured 6-foot 6-inches long, 6 feet in girth and weighed 297-pounds. Greer had about a 30 minutes battle with the fish.
According to report, the state record for warsaw grouper is 359.1-pound and was caught back in 2008.
