A man from Nova Scotia named Scott Tanner was fishing in Newfoundland when he pulled up a strange creature that looks like something you’d see on an old-fashioned map of the sea…but it’s real.
A bizarre fish with a birdlike beak and electric green eyes was caught in a fishing trawler off the coast of Newfoundland.

Even experienced fishermen are stunned by the looks of this thing, but Tanner isn’t convinced that it’s a monster. He says it looks like a deep-sea fish called the long-nosed chimaera.

Tanner may be right, but spotting a chimaera is nothing to scoff at either, since the creatures are usually found between 660 and 6,560 feet below the surface.

The chimaera was pulled in by a net meant for catching cod. It most likely died before it surfaced due to the pressure change. Even though most of the blank spots on old maps have been filled in, if you look hard enough, you can still find the sea monsters that those Vikings warned us about.

Kevin Gardner, a British pub landlord has achieved his 25 year long dream of catching a giant marlin. The proud Brit caught a massive 1,320lb (600kg) blue marlin using a rod and reel on a recent 10 day fishing trip in the Atlantic Ocean.

This remarkable 6 metre-long fish is the fourth biggest fish to be caught in the world and is believed to be the biggest caught by a Brit using a rod and line. It took a lengthy 3 hours for Kevin to land the fish, which he then flew from Ascension Island to his home in the UK to keep as a trophy. He has now set his sights on catching a Great White Shark next!
