I think it’s a goliath grouper.

And you ain't gonna catch one like that these days thanks to overfishing.

That’s actually not the case anymore. The population has recovered enough that the FWC is issuing a small number of permits that allow limited harvest. There may not be the numbers there once was, but that is improving and there are absolute giants swimming around.

It looks like a black sea bass. They get enormous and it was common 100 years ago to catch ones like that. In CA they had to ban fishing them because they almost went extinct. They’ve made a major comeback though.

Google lens says black sea bass. I'm going with that.

Correct. You can still harvest them in Mexican waters.
