Freak of nature

[guitarest]

While it is not in my position to question the big man upstairs some times you have to say "WTF". Point in fact to this thread; I have been looking for this fish for two years in its normal hiding place with no luck. Yesterday I decided to go fishing for the hell of it and the first cast I pulled in this freak. So what do ya do? It took me about ten minutes to offload all my gear, icebox, poles, nets and chair; do I let him go or load back up and bring him home. Its early in the day and no one is around so I dropped my buddy into a 5gal bucket and turn on the air pump. Load all my crap up drove home did the fastest normalization of tank water vs sea water and bam a new tank member. I drove back to the fishing spot, when I left no one was there, I get back and the entire town in fishing in my location.... I use barbless hooks so the fish that I don't keep have a small hole vs ripping out half their jaw. This morning his sore from the hook is close to completely gone and he ate two complete shrimp, head and all.

So back to the fish, he is called a Sea Robin. The big man upstairs must have had some spare parts and decided to be funny that day. This guy has 6 legs that he actually uses to walk along the bottom. Then the big guy gave them huge fins that he uses to fly in the water. Look at that face he has a huge shovel head for doing nothing but digging and then the big guy gives him a Raccoon mask. Yup a freak of nature, and a cool addition to my 100gal tank.

Some cool stuff, heading out today going fishing again since last weekend I thought about changing my name to Noah......

He is pretty cool

What a strange looking fish, but very cool. I'd be freaking out if one of those ever got on my line. Glad to hear he made the transition to your tank with his health intact.

No, the Creator didn't make any mistakes but He sure likes to throw a curveball now and then.

Nice touch adding the Brandenburg Concerto as background music. It makes great music to watch fish by.

It disturbs me that both of you even know what that music is.

Aww come on Surf, I dabble with Floyd and Rob Zombie also. And strangely I am looking forward to the Mullet Fest.... Still can't get up the strength to buy a wife beater t-shirt though.

At first I thought it was Yngwie or Ritchie until I heard the piccolo trumpet come in.

I was originally thinking about Bach, Air one of my favs although its a short video and the song would not get fully going in 23 seconds....
