When you're a
fisherman, you can expect to see some pretty crazy things while out at sea.
Sure, the bobbing blue of the ocean might get tedious after a while, but the
stuff you pull from its depths can be nothing short of shocking.
Recently,
Garry Warrick of South Australia reeled in a mean-looking fish that had two
mouths...but that's not the weirdest thing that popped out of the deep ocean.
These other creatures have either been caught by anglers or washed ashore...and
they're all a little more than creepy
1. Goblin Shark
The Goblin
Shark is a deep-sea shark that can grow to well over 20 feet in length. It is
called a ‘Goblin Shark’ because it looks super freaky, what many think a goblin
might look like. It has crazy long evil teeth and a big horn thing on top of
it’s head. This creepy shark was
caught by fisherman outside of Australia. It's rare to see a goblin shark near
the surface, since usually this creature lives near the bottom of the ocean
2. A giant oarfish
This large, serpent-like fish is also a deep sea dweller. It is rare to see, but in the past 5 years there have been multiple instances of these fish washing ashore.
3. A South American pachu fish
This frightening fish that
was caught has been known to feed on the testicles of those who go into its
territory. Not only that, but this one in particular was found in Michigan. Not
South America.
4. The giant Lion's Mane jellyfish
From time to time,
jellyfish wash ashore. However, it's rare to see one like THIS, the giant
Lion's Mane jellyfish. (Important note: the Lion's Mane is one of the largest
jellyfish in the world.)
5. A lancetfish
Lancetfish typically stick to the open
ocean...and you should be glad they do. (Just look at those razor-sharp teeth.)
However, a fisherman in North Carolina was able to pull this terrifying beauty
in. Don't worry, though. The fish is a known cannibalistic species, so at the
very least, it would probably avoid humans. Probably.
