Biggest Giant Grouper-world record set by Nelson Shayne. [Jan 4]Latham Island,Tanzania--One of The Pemba Channel Fishing Club's Bertram's Shuwari, while fishing out of Latham Island hooked up and boated a Giant Grouper weighing 179.5 kg. This is a new world record for the biggest Giant Grouper. Nelson Shayne and a couple of friends chartered Shuwari for a trip to Latham Island, Dar es Salaam.
Robert Paddle (2000, p. 4), in his book: The Last Tasmanian Tiger, quotes an average direct length for an adult male thylacine as 1.63m, and an adult female as 1.54m. The average male body length measurement as cited by Paddle is consistent with the sample group.
The tiger (Panthera tigris) is the largest cat species, reaching a total body length of up to 3.38 m (11.1 ft) over curves and exceptionally weighing up to 388.7 kg (857 lb) in the wild.arge male Siberian tigers can reach a total length of more than 3.5 m (11.5 ft) over curves and 3.3 m (10.8 ft) between pegs, and can weigh up to 306 kg (675 lb). This is considerably larger than the weight of 75 to 140 kg (165 to 309 lb) reached by the smallest living subspecies, the Sumatran tiger.
