hot spot for monsters and so does Africa in certain spots. Speaking of nasty ocean fish, some of those Goliath Groupers freak me out 
wouldn't want to run into one of those buggers in a dive. They like to hang out under docks in dark water and are WAY bigger than 
we are.

Luckily, they don't go after huge prey/what they can't chew (they aren't like Sharks) and the main concentration of them in the world, is around the huge bridges in the Florida Keys, so I'd think us humans would be ok . But yeah, they are just gargantuan and like all Groupers/Snappers, they come out of their hole, grab their food and swim right back; if you don't lock down that drag enough or have a strong enough line, you'll wreck EVERYTHING.

As for the Amazon and Africa, yes, there are some MASSIVE creatures in rivers. I've loved the Arapaima since I was 13/14 or so and it's just so cool to see one (we have 3 in the Toronto Zoo and they have to be at least 4 feet long), while the Goliath Tigerfish has always been fascinating as well (due to River Monsters).
