it's an Eopsetta jordani (Petrale sole). It has 2 eyes on one side of its head. badass.

 

I guess that only proves that there are plenty of fish in the sea.

Nice catch! :jester:

 

I... I can't believe you're holding that thing. I guess you just have more guts than say... me.

 

Haha! Yeah! i love holding fish. they feel so weird, and slimey. its cool. well.. i'm going to be a wildlife biologist, so i'm pretty used to handling weird creatures

this was on a fishing trip i had for class. we got to go out on the school's research vessel and troll for all kinds of fish, even down to 100 meters. i'm just glad i didnt get seasick and barf like some of the kids did. hehe

 

Man... that's like... a fucken flounder type.

You should eat it... yes, eat it!



Tell the kids to take some Dramamine (also a great song, btw)... it used to help me out a lot before I got me sea legs (makes one a tad sleepy though).

 

Yeah, that would have been me. :& One time, I went parasailing in Mexico, and I got seasick on the boat. I figured that I might feel better up in the air, but I just ended up throwing up way above the boat. Damn, I just suck all the way around.

 

I've seen a few people get their finger bit quite hard while taking out the hook.

That pic would make a good caption picture contest.

Fish: "Throw me back. I'm getting landsick."

Sarah, which one is you? Damn, where are my glasses?!!!

 

Ahhh, luckily we were using trolling nets


HCM, thanks, you beautiful woman you!!

 

That's good. That's a funny looking fish. So did you guys throw him back or eat him?

.

 

Yeah, did you tear him down the middle take out his gits skin him then grill it.
Or did you throw him back with a hole in his mouth ??

 

hii, most beautiful fisher in the world

 

I didn't know fish had beards!

 

Haha, neither.. although I would have liked to have eaten it..
He's been preserved in ethanol and is going to be used as a research specimen for the Ichthyology classes at my university Yay science.

 

"If he hollers, let him go"

 

Awesome fish!

 

A fish that's even stranger. A dog fish:
