Mike Trout reels in goliath grouper on fishing trip

Some guys have all the luck.

At 21, Mike Trout is already an MVP-caliber baseball player. The Angels centerfielder likely has a future full of batting titles and astronomical contracts.

And he's pretty good at fishing, too.

Trout, his girlfriend and his brother scored big this weekend in Key West, Fla., reeling in a grouper they claim is 500 or 550 pounds, depending on who's describing the massive catch. At first it sounds as though this is the origin of the term "fish story." But check out the shot that Jessica Cox, Trout's girlfriend, posted on Twitter:

Who needs the actual MVP trophy when you can bring home that monster? Of course, Trout's brother wrote on Twitter that they had to release it because the group's boat wasn't big enough. Will we never learn from "Jaws"?

Thankfully, Tyler Trout took one more shot of the fish and shared it on Twitter for our enjoyment:

It would take quite a bit of strength to haul in a fish that large -- almost as much strength as it would take to resist a bad fishing pun when a guy named Trout catches a grouper.
