Description

Maxing out at around 800 pounds and eight feet long, the weight of this fish is comparable to an adult grizzly bear, American bison, or grand piano...and similarly long items include a king-sized bed and surfboard! Fish biologist Derek Cox from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission joins as a guest to help shed light on the true habits of this amazing fish, as well as its complex history and management.
