I've seen some pretty scary looking fish in my day. Just a few years ago Shirley and I had lunch at a park on South Main St. in Brewer next to the Penobscot River. Sitting in our lawn chairs and eating Subway sandwiches we observed a few fisherman casting out into the water. Suddenly there was a commotion at the waters edge and other fisherman gathered to see what was going on. One fisherman had hooked a five foot Sturgeon. It was prehistoric looking, and no one wanted to touch it, so the the fisherman cut the line and we all watched as it swam away. Ugly!

Here's a video of one of the ugliest and scariest looking sea creatures you will ever lay eyes on. In fact, the video is reported to be the very first capturing an Anglerfish in it's natural habitat. You're about to see one the scariest fish in the ocean.
