Man in kayak reels in 500-pound monster grouper

One Florida fisherman had quite a catch when he was fishing from his kayak in Cape Coral, Florida, last week.

Jon Black caught a 552-pound Goliath grouper that is known for bottom feeding in shallow Florida waters.

In the video you can see Black struggle to pull the giant fish to the surface, grunting as he deals with the extreme weight of the animal.

The fish was released moments after the fisherman sized it up.
