This guy was lucky he didn't run into an agressive 600 pound jewfish. The lead sentance in the article claiming jewfish are gentle giants is a hoot. I spearfished jewfish in the Florida Keys commercially for a living in the 1970's and 1980's. When a 600 pounder makes that booming noise with his gills and looks you in the eye like you are prey, you know it's time to bangstick him or get back to the boat. A friend of mine diving with me in 1981 was sucked halfway into a jewfish mouth, the only part visible of his body was his torso from the chest up. We bangsticked that fish in the head with a .38 round and he spit my friend out, minus flippers and wetsuit.

No longer called a Jewfish, even they've been hit with PC. They are now called Goliath Grouper.

They do look like they could be vicious if they put their mind to it:

The author of this piece obviously didn't get the memo about not referring to this species of fish by it's former name -- somehow Jewfish is anti-semitic. I know, there's a bunch of lawyers with nothing better to do!

The fish was formerly on the staff of the New York times and a zionist.

"I'd seen many other jewfish out there before, but they acted normal. If you approached them, they kinda moved away," Charles said. "But this guy was weird. We was right next to me, like, 3 or 4 feet away, the whole time I was there," he said. "He was making this thudding noise they do, then all of a sudden he turned and hit me."Seconds before the attack, Charles repotedly asked the fish "What am I.......chopped liver?"

The UN really ought to pass a resolution against these Zionistfish attacks.
