Giant Fish of Florida 



JEWFISH (Promicrops guttatus) AND RED GROUPER 

 (Epinephelus morio) 



Of the jewfish enough has already been said. The 

 lower figure in the photograph is a red grouper, a large 

 deep-water fish with a good deal of pale red on the head 

 and throat, and a more vivid red inside the mouth. It is a 

 vigorous fighter when hooked on deep rocky ground, and 

 makes an excellent table fish, but it is not so common as 

 the black grouper.
