    Not sure if this is real or photo shopped. Pretty freaky looking.

    It is a Ribbon Fish

    They are found in the deep sea and come shallow when they are about to die many times.

    Ribbon fish might be right, I was thinking of an Oarfish.

    Awe I think you are correct. They are similar and ribbon came into my head first.

    If you search Oarfish this image comes up.

    The deeper a fish lives, the odder they look. Just look at this one commonly known as the Briankfish.

    Not sure why

    The photos have been leaked that is my new bait. It’s 12′ long weighs 75lbs and has 75 12/0 trebles sure to get me that state record lunge. Lonnie at Thorne Bros looked at me like I was nuts when I told him I needed a rod built for it

    Yep, it’s real.

    I didn’t see anyone else mention it, so I will. Their pectoral fins can be 40-80 feet long, and the largest specimen ever reported was 56 feet long in the body alone.
