Yup – certain eels can get that big. I doubt it was caught close to shore – this is probably where they pulled it off the boat. We used to catch stuff off Hawaii like that, although this is probably deeper in the Pacific like Truk or Tonga.
some of those fingers look awfully identical to others of those fingers. that is, do all photoshoppings qualify for pictureisunrelated status, or just those involving guys where tiaras?
its a real thing, but the picture is fake, look at the right bottom in the water, the reflex only show the guy with “the hands holding something invisible”.
Non-mammalian sea creatures freak me the hell out. D: If I were in the water and one of those things got close to me — or, oh fuck, touched me — I’d probably need honest-to-god therapy for PTSD afterwards.

It’s not their fault they terrify me. But still. D:
Its an oarfish! NOT a eel! they are a deep sea fish that occasionaly get washed up on shore, like what probably happened to this one. Also thay are quite rare.
A radioactive mutant eel? I wonder if it tastes good.
Can anyone say if this is real? That’s a scary big fish to be catching that close to shore…
looks like an oarfish to me. I love those things.
Here’s an even bigger one: http://www.thejump.net/id/oarfish.htm
looks more like a dragon fish they get long and thin 2 – 3 sections of fins

The tiaras add to any photoshop, even if the picture was unedited.
It’s an Oarfish.
Oh my god an oarfish!
So beautiful…
I thought that was a topless chick on the left at first, haha.
Neat fish
Dude, so did I!!
if it smells like trout, get out! lol
They probably found it washed up on shore, dead. Oarfishes tend to end up like that.
All right! I caught… a Dratini!
Such a shame, Oarfish are awesome.

thats becuase theres somthing cald WAVES witch can ripple changein any reflaction >.> dumb@

Holy carp!!!
Win!
I like this, “Oarfish are the source of many sea serpent reports”.
Gee, maybe because it’s a Goddamned sea serpent??
Except it’s not. It is, in fact, a fish.
Looks like a king of herrings (a kind of oarfish): http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/King_of_herrings
I believe you could cut down a tree with that thing.
yah but could you do it with a herring
More of the guys and their fish:
Oarfish grow even bigger than that. I’m suprised someone caught one close to shore since they live in the abyss.
Actually, they do sometimes come to the surface at night. The weird part is that they clearly caught it during the day.
KILL IT WITH FIRE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!, and then serve with melted butter and your precious TARTAR sauce.
Too small. Throw it back.
This is a fish called King of Herrings, and it is extremely rare.

‘when an eel hits your eye like a big pizza pie, it’s a Moray’
Yeah, lets kill all animals in this world. Only humans deserve to live on earth, because of its great intelligence.
O, stuff it, loser.
Shouldn’t that be ‘their’ great intelligence?
how is this unrelated?
AUGH OH GOD THROW IT BACK THROW IT BACK.

oh and I forgot to say, this one looks like “king of herrings”, a type of oarfish
it looks like a fish you have ot catch in Okami. thats why it caught my eye x3
Yeah it does! but in Okami, its a cutlass fish. probably part of the same family as this baby, but not sure…
it’s fins look like hair. make it look kinda emo. maybe it threw itself on shore in a fit of despair
lol emofish is emo.. beaches self only to be picked up and made fun of more
