This really qualifies as a sea monster.
Mr Cullen Greer reeled in a 135kg fish last week while fishing about 56km from the end of the Mississippi Delta in the US.
He was next to an offshore rig in about 180m of water, reported NBC associate Ketk.
The grouper is 1.98m long and 1.83m in width.
Mr Greer took 30 minutes to reel it in, reported USA Today.
Pending verification by the Louisiana Outdoor Writers Association, the catch will rank as the fifth-largest warsaw grouper ever brought to port in Louisiana, reported Nola.
The largest was caught in 2008 and weighed 163kg.
