A fisherman was shocked when he reeled in a bizarre, alien-looking creature from the water. The strange animal had large bulbous eyes that made it look like something truly out of this world.
Oscar Lundahl nearly “jumped out his fishing boat” when he pulled the strange creature into his boat, The Sun reports. Photos of the fish reveal its large eyes and comparatively small body.
Lundahl, a fishing guide for Nordic Sea Angling, was reportedly fishing for blue halibut off the coast of the island of Andoya in Norway when he made the catch. He was apparently fishing in 2,600 feet of water at the time.
He told The Sun, “We were looking for blue halibut which is a rare species about 5 miles offshore. I had four hooks on one line and felt something quite big on the end of it. It took me about 30 minutes to reel it in because it was over 2,600 feet deep.”

That Dinosaur-Fish had to be named, so it will now be known as the "Judge Ginsburg".
wonder what it tastes like?
Agree 11:04 PM; with the nickname AOC.
Or he caught a reasonably rare rat fish, at a deep depth and the pressure change caused its eyes to bulge, swim bladder explode, and killed it on the way up.
