Wow, but that is a long way to go for Fuzz and BigJim to spear the biggest one?

There are a few of these that wash up each year...usually in Mexico.
I've got pics of a 6" oarfish that was caught in Monterey a few yrs ago.

I can't locate the picture at the moment, but it was sent to me by a DFW biologist.

Another 14 footer just washed ashore in Southern CA....

This worries me. Somethin' ain't right.
