What is this ?
 

No idea! Looks crazy tho

Samsung Galaxy S3 (Android dominating the world!)

that would be some kinda eel...fresh or salt water? We have caught a bunch of big fat green eels off my buddys wharf on lake charles..them things put up a good fight.

**just saw its mouth looks like suction cups or something...could be a type of remora

Don't know what it is but it creeps me out?

Sucker fish

. That's them things you see attached to sharks,Ling and other big fish that move a lot

What I want to know is, how you caught that thing Trey?

Looks like a Lamprey eel

Its a lamprey, they attach themselves to fish, freshwater mostly

A friend sent the pic to me. It was caught in a hoop net on the upper Sabine river.

Did he pull it off another fish? Someone on crappie.com posted one on a crappie this past week. I have caught crappie in Oua****a River that had one on it. Some sci-fi looking stuff going on in that mouth!

mouth

Another reason to stay in the boat :eek: !

Hydro

That is a cottoncopperrattler shoot it !

It's DEFINITELY NOT a sucker fish...

Its appears to be a parasitic fish called a lamprey. Not an eel but a primitive species.

Never saw those this far south. Thought they were cold water fish?

That's nasty, hope you killed it!!!

Lampreys and hagfish are primitive fish without jaws, eels are jawed fishes. American eels as shown in that pic with Bdub are anadramous meaning they live in freshwater but spawn at sea.

just think one of them would get in your waders lol.

for the record that is not me that is a friend lol

Shoot it and, contact Mathgeek! I'm pretty sure that dude knows more about aquatic life than any two people I know. There's a strong possibility that, not only has he done a study on it but, maybe eaten it! LOL! (Kidding on the last part)

First and foremost, SHOOT IT!
