its a henway

It's the devil spawn of a weakfish, robinfish, snakehead orgy!

Kinda resembles a trouser snake?

In lees river (swansea) in the fall there are tons of those. They do the air jaws thing and come straight up outta the water at least a foot smashing silversides and peanut bunker. They actually have a snake skin like pattern after you put them in a bucket. If you live line one they will attack it as well. vicious little cannibal fish. I always thought it had something to do with the power plant. Guess not

Jones .it could be .... we were in MHB

30 -40 years ago we always caught really weird fish in the discharge ... when it came out the side & the Lees warmed up into the 80,s :fishin:

Denis got bit by one of these? Is he OK?

Never seen one before.

I think it is a lizardfish. Caught a bunch of these, about the same size, casting tins and jigs off Outerbanks a couple of years ago. Looks like good bait....

wow...never saw that before. That is a creepy looking thing.

lizardfish.

Crazy! Never seen anything like it! OTW on FB had something about a kid catching a barracuda off BI... but i don't think thats a barracuda.. i guess I have to agree with lizzard fish, after googling up some pics.

Crazy!

I didn't see it but I'll bet that was a northern sennet and not a baraccuda.

Lizard fish

Big sennet :hihi:

All seriousness, there has been some wacky fish activity this year.

Yeah real big sennet! :uhuh:

lizard fish, ive caught em in quonny pond while bluefishing back in 2005, the juvies come up here and the bigger fish breed and stay in NC areas mostly, and live in deep water.

pretty crazy fish.
