Vector search - ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException

I'm building a function that does a linear search in an array. What I would like is that instead of leaving the value of the array size in the call, I would like to use the length property so that it can even calculate its size and thus make the call. But whenever I put the vet.length it gives the error ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException , but if I put the 6 in the call it works.

What to do?

public static int buscaValor(int vet[], int maximo, int value) {

    if (maximo >= 0) {
        if (vet[maximo] == value) //(linha 9)
            return maximo;
        else
            return buscaValor(vet, maximo - 1, value);
    }
    return -1;
}

public static void main(String[] args) {
    Scanner read = new Scanner(System.in);
    int vet[] = {10, 2, 43, 14, 25, 6, 37};
    System.out.print("\n\nQual valor deseja buscar? - ");
    int respostaBusca = read.nextInt();
    int index = buscaValor(vet, vet.length, respostaBusca); //(linha 22)

    if (index == -1)
        System.out.println("Elemento não encontrado");
    else
        System.out.println("O índice do elemento " + respostaBusca + " é: " + index);
}

The error:

Exception in thread "main" java.lang.ArrayIndexOutOfBoundsException: 7
    at buscavalor.BuscaValor.buscaValor(BuscaValor.java:9)
    at buscavalor.BuscaValor.main(BuscaValor.java:22)
