Went out to fish for 2 hrs before work
Got this thing on my $20 memelure. I never catch anything like this before. Apparently it's a needle fish. They don't get catched a lot around here on the surf. It was a pain to unhook because it wiggle constantly while being on shore and wrap the line around it's beak. The hook actually pop off from all of the wiggling but the line remains wrapped in its beak in between the mouth. It also has sharp teeth and flay my line, forcing me to re tie.
Reading up the wiki, apparently these guys are a real menace. They had attacked, injured, and killed people before. Apparently, they breed by the male riding the female on the surf so I probably just cucked this guy/girl out of gettin laid ( I saw another needlefish pop out of the water as I reel this one in).
Also got a 17 inches or so halibut a bit later on the same lure.
