I'm a Fish!
See anything weirdest you ever saw when you dive in the water?
 
Not diving but commercial longlinning I caught a Lancet fish. Looks like a cross between a baracuda and a sail fish but only about three feet long. I had to kill it becouse it was chasing me on the deck. Turns out the Scripts inst. was looking for one for decades. I killed a multi thousand dollar fish. Then there was the "blob" fish. Blob sculpin I think is the real name. Weird stuff down deep (500 plus fathoms).
