Plenty of Giant Groupers at Sembilan Island?

Thanks to the StarOnline and their sensational news about a giant grouper weighing a whopping 180kg caught by Malaysian fishermen somewhere near Sembilan Island, the locals living in Pulau Pangkor, Lumut and Bagan Datoh have revealed that giant groupers was a common catch there. Fishermen have caught giant groupers couple of times before but they never did bother to sensationalize it.

Such news would be great for sports fishing enthusiasts especially those keen on landing giant groupers. I love fishing but the thought of landing giant groupers gives me the creeps. I think I’ll stick to barramundis (sea bass) and snooks for the time being. :-)
