I'd like to know too! I caught one of those a few years back when I was in highschool on a marine science field trip to S.Padre Island. I caught him with a net though. I can tell you that it's a bottom dweller.

 

that is one ugly fish!

 

looks pretty sic to me try to find out what the hell that is

 

that is a fish that has mutated over the years because of all the chemicals and harsh things in their environment. You guys remember that episode of the simpsons that the fish had 3 eyes. . . . sort of like that!!!! NO just kidding guys, i too have never seen this fish. LOOKS OOOGLY

 

I think that is a dog fish ? atleast thats what a fisherman told me when i cught one on the dike in texas city, he also said it is poisonis and can survive up to 4 hours or more out of the water? i am not saying its true but it was an old man. but i kinda belive him cause when we caught it we just flung it into the rocks and it would not die.

 

nope i am wrong i just looked it up a dogfish is in the shark family. maybe its justa mut?

 

what ever it is i hope you killed before it could reproduce!!!!

 

bottom dwelling fish?

 

That is a LEOPARD TOADFISH Opsanus pardus I caught these trash fish before.

 

Looks like a Rockfish. Anyone ever see Blue Lagoon? I doubt it is the same as seen in that movie.

 

What a cool thing to pull off of your lure.

 

hey jm this is jason that sold you the 270 rifle hows it going hows the gun doing just thought i would say whats up.

 

did he catch that thing beside a nuclear power plant??

 

I shot 2 bucks with it allready. Thanks again man. One at 175 yards. And another at 275 yards

 

LOL I work at a power plant. No we dont have those

 

I cought a fish simmilar to that in my cast net about 5 weeks trying to catch finger mullet for flounder. It was about 1 and a half inches long but this thing had spikes on it.

 

it is a dog fish... i caught one of those in copano bay

 

That is the slang term. A real dog fish is a shark.

 

You sir are correct
