What Is It?

What Is It? - 14

Fishing buddy Capt. Devlin Roussel just e-mail me a photograph of this ugly beast caught on a jig in the Gulf the other day. Care to guess the species? Sure makes a great addition to our gallery of uglies...

For species, I'm going with a hybrid... anorexic sailfish crossed with barracuda and morray eel.

I've seen that fish before but I don't know what it is. It's not a sailfish--it doesn't have a bill.

Here Thar Be Serpeants

My best guess is that it's the unholy spawn of a dime store guppy and Kermit the Frog.

Thanks for the ID on this gruesome looking fish. You know, it looks like some of those weird fish that are found at thousands of feet beneath the sea by deep-sea explorers.

Nice work Mr. Wagner. We'd send you some fishing gear as a prize, but after winning the Grand Slam Africa trip, I'm not really sure that you're eligible for more prizes. :-)
