“This one is very rare!” William Delph of Delph Fishing explained via Instagram. “For those of you who don’t know, this is a Yellowfin Grouper, otherwise known as a ‘Fireback.’
“These grouper are extremely rare to catch down here. Unfortunately, a shark decided to have a taste of this guy before we could get him in the boat.”

Delph, who was fishing at the Dry Tortugas, did not provide a weight for his catch.
The Florida record for yellowfin grouper stands at 34 pounds, 6 ounces.
The world record is 47 pounds, for a fish caught in the Gulf of Mexico off Texas in 2021.
Yellowfin grouper reside mostly near offshore reefs, where they prey mostly on smaller fish and squid. They’re named because of the bright yellow coloration of their outer pectoral fins.
