The Weird, The Mysterious And The Wonderful

Just interested to see if anyone has pics of some rare fish that are rarely caught or seen. I got sent an ID request from a fishing comp in NSW earlier in the week and it got me keen to see what other people have caught or see. Or if there are any unidentified fish in your photo album I would be happy to help.

This guy was caught out wide around a fish trap. Not one I have come across often!

A bowmouth guitarfish a mate caught was pretty different. I'd never heard of one before seeing the pics.

(Rhina ancylostoma) Bowmouth guitarfish. I have never seen one in person before but would love to! Almost look like a whale shark ray cross.

This guy studies what's down below and then goes out a throws lures at some of them !

Now to catch something unusual......
