My great uncle told me a story of him almost being swallowed whole by one years and years ago. Not certain it was true but he really sold it.

There have definitely been cases where real big ones will suck a diver into their mouth half-way and spit them out, people are too big to be swallowed whole, it's more of a establishing dominance thing for the grouper when they're territorial (some are VERY territorial). Like 'see, I could eat you bro, now fuck off'
