Jurassic sea monster?

https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...450bf2c3bb.jpgAnybody know what this is? I wasn't thinking, and grabbed it by the lip to unhook it. Snapped down on my thumb like an alligator. Luckily the teeth weren't too big, and lucky again it only held the grip for about 5 seconds. Had fins like an eel.

But I thought they were more orange instead of yellow....maybe it's a juvenile.

That is definitely what it is. They are very common and very aggressive. They will strike at baits far larger than they are if they appear injured.

I thought you were trying to be funny. I finally looked it up. AKA reaper vampire creature. Nasty little critter.

I was afraid that would happen, but I was too busy when I replied to tell you I was being serious!

A Fish ID thread has developed at sdfish.com for 22 pages that is pretty comprehensive for anything we might find locally:

It starts out with a Midshipman. Kirk, was yours iridescent colors, or plain drab green?

That has to be what it was. I never got a good look at it, but I remember that really vivid green color inside his jaws...

And attitude when I tried to unhook him, I'm pretty sure it was a sarcastic fringe head.

It's a Sarcastic Fringehead. I caught one today too. The damn thing snapped down hard on my pliers. I knew right off the bat that it would be a bad idea to stick my fingers in its mouth.
