North Carolina has seen an influx of Lionfish being caught on artificial reef and wrecks that are scattered offshore.

Like Big T I also caught a remora and thats probably my strangest fish. I caught it off a jetti using a gulp on a jig head for fluke. Don't know what it was doing that close in to shore, maybe there was a shark nearby hah  ;D. I couldn't tell the back of the fish from the belly, was so weird. I didn't have a camera on me so I couldnt get a picture, but it was about 28 inches im guessing.

Get in line BB

Up here we have a fish that often freaks folks out, a few actually.  1 is called a monkfish and the other is a sea robin.  The sea robin has a shelled head like the Pleco's but add 6 legs to that!!

Don't asian people eat monkfish?

Monkfish fish looks cool 8-)

i caught a 14 inch largemouth bass in a popular trout stream

some one let  that go from there fish tank i bet

This is because a lot of people buy plecos at there local fish store when they are only 3 inches long and they think they look cool and the decide to put them in their 10 gallon fish tank. In a few weeks they already out grow the tank so they release it in a local body of water. Plecos can reach sizes of 1-2 feet in length. People need to stop buying fish with out researching them first.

If you take the time for clean one - carefully - they are incredibly tasty fish.  Try one, they'll suprise you.
