all the big ones are within a couple of miles of shore BTW. like right on the beach

 

ive got a friend down in the Bahamas that loves swimming with them. theyre actually pretty tame in the water (until you step on one) and pretty cool.

 

we also get pretty fish. the always gorgeous Scorpionfish. -- Jordan Neely

 

Lets just say the barb going in is the easy part. coming out, just massacres tissue.

 

haha yea we handle these with care also. we just hope ours eyes find it before our hand does!

 

haha you bet your ass!

 

I definitely do personal epirb at night when the seas are angry and confused.

 

noooope. that's something I don't mess with.... theres not always someone at the helm to hear a scream on our boat.

 

I haven't heard that one in particular but it makes complete sense. lucky his guys new how to dead reckon and take into account currents. that's a nightmare.

 

I follow a guy on Twitter @rfedortsov

He's a deep sea fisher from Russia.... the things that dude comes up with in his nets is scary as fuck.

 

yea ive seen some of his stuff. the ocean is deep dark scary place! the deep ocean is my dream place. so much undiscovered stuff lurking down there. im still waiting on my chance to jump on a submersible and do some deep diving!

 

His latest picture was something about "dinosaurs aren't dead, they just went hiding below the water." One freaky ass fish in that picture along with every other picture he's posted. He posted one "shark" that looks exactly like the aliens we used to all see on TV.

 

Angler fish is the LEAST of your worries...

 

yup. living proof are the Coelacanths that they rediscovered that they thought were loooooong extinct. I love all of it. always something to learn.

 

aww those guys are cute!

 

hes just another mother-in-law fish

 

yea lampreys are pretty terrifying creatures. and that other one looks strikingly similar to a ribbonfish that we catch (trichiurus lepturus) and that one one the bottom left looks like the missing link between a flatfish and normal fish haha. his damn eye has only moved halfway to the "normal" position
