Here's a great video. What is that huge fish? Looks too long and lean to be a grouper.

Potato Cod? If so that may have been filmed off Australia. Here's another one:

This was discussed on reddit a few days ago, and the consensus was a goliath grouper.
There is always a bigger fish... : videos
The diver seems to be holding a gopro. THAT is some footage I'd love to see!

I don't care what the concensus was, it is not a goliath grouper. I am quite sure it is a Potato Cod.

I don't know anything about potato cod but I see goliath grouper all the time, and that was not a goliath grouper.
I'd call that "Raid my pantry? I'll show you butthead!"

Potato cod is actually a grouper (Epinephelus tukula) location of the video would help tremendously, but it seems like a pretty good bet
It is definitely a potato cod (E. tukula). I work as an aquarist and have one in one of my tanks.
