That Goliath almost took you for a death ride…

I was a scuba diver from the time I hit 12 years old into my 30's & I've seen some really beautiful things under water and what you did by removing the hook from the Goliath groupers eye was a real act of kindness that some animals will actually remember and even recognize the one that helped them to get from the trap that they were in & probably would have died in if someone hadn't saved them,, so God bless you for giving him his life back because the danger level was extremely high for those few minutes.

Wow that was So incredibly sketchy, that treble could’ve easily hooked your hand (which would be a huge problem by itself) and then you could’ve been dragged deeper potentially drowning you or at the very least destroying your hand in the process. Dude be careful, next time grab a stick or use literally anything other than your hand to dislodge it

I remember that video. I cringed and thought about how bad that could've been. That lure must be irresistible.

I think that's the luckiest fish ever. Also nice job bro helping out an animal in need.

So sick love this clip. Helping out the poor Goliath with a lure in his eye.

i was sitting here trying to prepare myself for a shark jump scare

I’m just grateful that you were able to remove that from the Goliath. I’m also grateful that you didn’t get injured. But, THANK YOU for taking the risk

I see so many sandwiches there it's crazy!

As someone who has seen a peacock bass put a treble through someone's thumbnail (in a huge pain for hours) this guy is very lucky.

SNATCH!! Great calculated move and way to save a creature knowing you may have incurred damages...you are a marine life BOSS!

Bro what were you thinking!! Could've gone horrible

Dude when he took off my heart sunk, I thought you was a goner man. Absolutely incredible.🤙🏼

What an awesome man!! Nice job and thanks for sharing.

Omg that poor Goliath grouper is blind from one eye thank you so much for helping him

Way to go buddy. Thanks for helping those who can't help themselves.

Hell naw...You catch that hook deep enough in your hand and that grouper is gna drag you down and drown you...Sooo lucky lol.

Just remember that when fishing, fish like Clyde have foreheads. Keep your hooks off of Clyde's forehead.

He said I’m getting my bait back, where my dive gear?

Lucky diver? No, lucky fish. That lure already blinded him.

I personally think the grouper came to you for help. Well done for helping the poor thing out. Humans annoy me sometimes!

Man, any second thoughts on that move? Give that man a bravo zulu on his dedication! He is the chosen one.

Bravo Monsieur pour ton humanité car la mer manque d'hommes comme toi

I was about to say, man's gunna need that "surgically removed" by a fisherman and a lot of whiskey

Lmao!!! Risky, but I know you and the Grouper are both happy!

That fish knew he would help him

I dunno, the guy who dived and had a great white bump his head is a bit more lucky 😅

Holy shit! You sir have balls of steel.

This kid is a few sandwiches shy of a picnic.

I think that diver that got his head bumped by a great white has ya beat

The real question is how did someone hook a Goliath on a topwater

Yo MAD RESPECT BRO...that's what's up... BIG UPS BRO...👊💯

You got lucky dude

Good 4 u man! I bet that was painful 4 the poor monster but u got it!

Props to that diver! Help those poor underwater creatures any chance you get folks

Wow man......!! Great vid be careful out there.!!

I remember that, def one for the record. Raise your hand if you've ever had a snook on , only to have it vacuumed up by those goliath's at the jetty 🖐🏼🖐🏼🖐🏼

That was stupid

That was gangster bro..in good way

You handled that like skilled surgeon in a half second! Wow! 👍

that groupers eye is probably gone now

You were lucky because you did a selfless act of kindness.

That was so lucky! Imagine if you copped a hook to the hand while the lure was still attached to that beast!

Saw the full video. I thought, “he is crazy!” The grouper thanks you lol. Glad it turned out well. Awesome short.

Grumpy, the one-eyed grouper can only swim in circles. Bastird hogs the left lane on the highway.

Good eating, those Goliaths. They were once so plentiful they were caught from docks.

I'd say, luckiest grouper ever.

Old one eye salutes you!

I thought it looked like the fish had the hook in its eye, and pang there you drag the hook out! The fish survived thickly, but apparently with a broken eye🥺

Yeah he was one lucky man, if he'd got hooked he woulda went for a wild ride!!!

That fish lost an eye to that lure

Wow, you could have been dragged out to deep water. Be careful.

Riskyyyyy lmao

More like luckiest fish ever because if it wasn't for you he'd still be swimming around with that lure.

To me the Goliath grouper is just as scary as a shark

Awesome clip. However..... People always wonder how accomplished swimmers and divers die.... U got lucky...

Dude wasn’t thinking!! He is lucky as fuxk!

Poor fish. It was hooked in his eyeball. Pulling it off likely blinded him, if he wasn't already. 😢

When the fish thrashed I thought it would cut to him laying next to an emt

Or Goliath’s eyeball! Well done 👍

I think the diver that hot kissed on the back of the head by a Great White is the luckiest ever.

It looked like it was hooked in its eye

I never touch a treble hook without a pair of pliers if there's a fish hooked to it. I made that mistake once with a rattle trap and a largemouth bass and that was enough for me ....

Do you have any idea how incredibly dangerous that is? It is complete luck he didn't die right then

Well done man, Good job!

Was that a surface popper in a Goliath???..Awesome job!

Lure works on people also.

Nicely done bro. Could have gone both ways. Plenty of them there hey.....

Yeah many people have been dragged to their death in similar situations. Crazy lucky dude

More like his eyeball was hooked.

The guys at the top are like sooo you just unhooked my fish? What a jerk diver

the goliath grouper is now missing an eye baller

That was dangerous dude

We need more people like us in the world... I've done shit similar to this several times even snatching a crocodile spoon outta a 5+ft Barracudas lower jaw just like that... probably not my best of ideas but most definitely worth it... keep up the Stoke bro...🤙

I thought forsure you were surfacing to pull a hook out your finger..

Goliath: You seem to have lost something hooman. Stop polluting my home.

Aaww... looked like it was stuck in its eye! 😦😦 Glad you were able to get it! Maybe it purposely came to you for help? There are many reports of animals - land and ocen - doing just that.

That was incredibly stupid but awesome

Thank you so much for doing that bro! You're a real one!

Gotta love Sebastian Inlet.

It straightened the hook right out.

I mean there's worse ways to die 😂

Know why that water is so cloudy? Because fish f@ck in it. Lol

Dude, as time goes by, would you do it again if you were in the same situation. Honestly, that was stupid. Love your videos, though. I hope you kept the lure preciously on a shelf.

Sorry but I would never risk my life to save a fish. You got very lucky. That was ignorant

Pretty cool dude good job

I’m no marine biologist or diver, so I may well be talking out of my ass, but if those are what I think they are (some species of giant grouper), you _may_ not want to stick around for too very long. They’ve got a bite that rivals some sharks and are voracious predators iirc.

I hope you bought a lottery ticket that day! Jesus, man, you ARE lucky!

Yeah lucky he didn't get hooked lol

Good eating!! Huge Groupers!! That was crazy bro!! Ur definitely lucky 🍀!! God bless

Ya your absolutely lucky. God had your back on that one buddy haha.

Wow like five goliath grouper and luck y you didnt get hooked....nice dive!!

If you get home, you were under the limit.

Wow, dicey but done well. Looks like Sebastian Inlet jetty?

You was very lucky my friend.😮

Should mount that lure right over the door you leave your house through everyday to remind yourself how lucky you gor

You wouldnt have been a gonner it wouldve ripped out of your hand/glove or fish.that was barely enough hook to keep a 28in schoolie from straightening it out.good deed tho.mega karma credit on your end bro🤘

Knowing groupers and fishing them, for SURE, he could have lost his finger, because nothing would have stopped that fish

Man he would have went for a wild ride...

You really helped him getting that pink eye❤ You legend😉
