    I have never gone out fishing.  

    But I am a very weird creature myself.

  • I've run across my share of rays which are relaly more beautiful than strange. But for the strangest? That's gonna be a Balmain Bug which is an ugly salt water crayfish but beautiful to eat.

  • They're very similar. Once upon a time there was no real market for our Bugs because they looked awful. When the word got around they became as expensive as lobsters. In fact, I think they're a better food.

    At the time my intent was not to catch fish but to windsurf. While gliding along I spotted a fish near the surface ahead, and as I passed by I reached down and grabbed it.

    Once out deep sea fishing here in the Atlantic I looked down and saw what looked like half a shark but it was still swimming along with the boat.  I asked the captain about it, he looked over the side, and said, Oh, that's an ocean sunfish.  Dampeculiar lookin'.
