Survived!!!

On a recent dive I came across a weird looking fish hiding in the sand...

Did what I usually do when I don't know what something is and poked it with my spear.

It didn't run away so I grabbed it's tail (of course).

Bad move!!

It erupted from the sand exposing a mouth full of razor sharp teeth, and a powerful demon tail and tried to bite me!!!

Then it charged me at 1,000 miles an hour revealing its terrifying 10 foot long body and gaping maw of gleaming alien jaws!!!

I barely escaped with my life!!

Apparently this hell spawn has a name: Midshipman

Don't be fooled into thinking it is small and harmless...my experience proves otherwise...rabidly aggressive nightmare monster!!!

If I ever see one again I am swimming (fast) in the opposite direction!!

Vid here...not for the faint of heart!! Make sure to turn the sound on so you can hear my screams of terror.

Yup. Excellent leopard shark bait and mean as a muthaf***a.

You're getting soft, bro.   

I dropped my phone when it swam towards you  that shit is like from an alien movie thats about to take you as host. Wait are you still JIM?  you are scaring me now specially when you said you are not gonna eat that 

I got a surprise from a Large Angle shark in Tomalas Bay,

 tried to be a good sport and take the hook out while along Side the yak.

Good thing I had long nose pliers or I would have lost some fingers !!!

The thing all of sudden, pulls an " Alien " move and shows a set of huge teeth coming out like a bear trap and clamping down on my pliers just missing my fingers,,,   

  Bad fish ,,,

  Respect

 

 

that is awesome.
I've caught them before and they are just a smaller, very blinged out lingcod!

  

Cut it out. Does look like a mean little devil though

Those things are great shark bait. They also have cool  glowing colors in the dark .

What was that stupid fish I shot by the barge that one time when I use to dive??? . Never seen the one you were poking at before...

Very cool and funny stories

You shot a little (electric) torpedo ray  .

Yeah, my first time seeing one of these hideous beasts as well.

The wiki link says they're nocturnal and try to sleep during the day unless grabbed by the tail in which case they become homicidal. 

Gnarly!

Y’all know Jim don’t eat fast food!!!!!
