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.
