@bananian thanks for that comment, I didn't realize they were cartilaginous

Just totally freaky! They have huge buck teeth. and a whole slew of abnormal looking fins, and really weird spots, HUGE eyeballs. I didn't even want to touch it to get it off the hook! I always wondered if it was edible....

I caught one of these from under a dock in Gig Harbour Washington about 15 years ago, it was the weirdest damn fish I ever saw. I finally identified it at a local bait shop. When I pulled that dang fish out of the water, I thought it was some mutant fish caused by leaking radiation from the nuclear subs across the bay at Bremerton!

[koala371]

why are they called ratfish?

[meboobrat]

@koala371 when you catch one you can see its teeth and it kinda reminds you of a rat
