MORE than 100 people gathered to watch the amazing spectacle as two anglers reeled in a gigantic grouper on the weekend.
The massive fish, believed to weigh more than 100kg, was caught about 300km north of Brisbane at the historic Urangan Pier, Hervey Bay by two local fisherman, the Warwick Daily News reported.
Chad Runnalls and Dylan Brooking spent more than two hours fighting the fish, making the catch about 1km away from where the action started.

"We fish every day pretty much and try and catch big mackerel and tuna, but this was a real thrill," Runnalls said.
"It was massive.
"It's a phenomenal fish — it's a big beautiful girl of a fish."

The men eventually released the grouper back into the water, bringing about an applause from onlookers.
"There's maybe about 10 local kids there most of the time and they were all there and they all got a chance to touch it, have photos with it — it was a really a 'bringing people together' moment," added the 35-year-old Runnalls.
"We patted her a bit and had a little bit of a moment with the fish, said, 'Go on old girl,' and she took off back into the water, no problem.
"They are living legends those fish and you would never in a million years do anything (to harm them)."
In November 2013, a 310kg grouper was reportedly caught in the Spratly Islands in the south China sea.
