The big game to hunt in Florida are the Hogfish (commonly referred to as the Hogsnapper), Grouper, Snapper (Gray, Mutton, Lane, Red), Jack, Amberjack, and sometimes Cobia. All of these fish are good eating. They can be taken by spearguns, Hawaiian slings, or pole spears. There are other fish that can legally be speared but lack the taste or may cause illness when eaten (i.e. Barracuda). Hogfish generally average 2-3 lbs. in Florida, however 10-15lb. hog's, although rare, can still be found (17lb. Hogfish in pic to left).while spearfishing.
