My 8 year old grandson caught this using Gulp artificial bloodworms on a two hook bottom rig on Johnny Mercer's pier. I'd never seen one before and one of the old pros said they were pretty rare around here. A buddy who lives on Harker's Island said they catch them all the time while bottom fishing around his place. Anyway it was really small and it didn't look tasty so we threw it back. Just goes to show you never know what you may catch in the ocean.

the first one of those I saw was while spearfishing in the Caribbean back in late 1983,,,,,I spent 6 months on St Vincent and most every day was in the water,,,seen that fish on the bottom and was like "WHAT!!",,word bubbles and all,,,,freaky looking the first time,,,

I actually caught several this past week in the surf at Murrells Inlet. Caught them all on a bottom rig with real blood worms.

I saw a cooking show where they were eating them. Said they were great. I’ve been throwing them back my whole life but the next one I catch, I will find out for myself if it is true.

Hmmm … I was told and so always thought that they were "trash fish", too.

One Man’s trash is another mans treasure ?

That did not bother me... but that face to face meeting I had with a Mora Eel... that made me back peddle. Just snorkeling along the reefs in Grenada spear fishing for supper.

You got that right. I always have to find out for myself.
