Default Rare SunFish
Just had a huge sunfish surface right before dark today. This is only the 2nd one I have seen in 11 years offshore.
Pics are not too good because it is pretty far from the platform ,but looks like at least 400lbs or maybe bigger

I've only seen 1 in my life. It was just relaxing on the surface as we were coming back into Venice. That is 1 strange looking fish!
