Oscar Lundahl is believed to have nearly jumped out of his boat when he saw the strange-looking species with bulbous eyes.

An angler had a big surprise when he accidentally reeled in a"weird, dinosaur-like" fish.

Oscar Lundahl is believed to have nearly jumped out of his boat when he saw on the end of his line the strange-looking species with large, bulbous eyes. It turned out the creature was a ratfish, which lives in deep water and is distantly related to sharks. It is harmless to humans and gets its name from its long, thin tail that some scientists in the past believed resembled a rat's.The 19-year-old man was fishing for blue halibut when he caught the ratfish off the island of Andoya in northern Norway.More from Offbeat

So , you killed it

A rat fish from the deep....spooky never going in the water again😱😱😱

Hope he put it back alive.

Definitely a Remainer.

Poor fish doing no harm. Just no.

PRETTY SURE IT'S A 'PLASTIC WALT DISNEY FAKE-FISH'.

Fishing for fun is just cruel and wrong. The fish was killed for no reason, that should have been the real story.

Looks like a Whale bust a nut imo

we should spend money exploring the deep oceans of this world not sending machines to the stars... we dont even know what lives in our own planet

Unreal!

That's the biggest sperm that fisherman's ever shot out.

Poor thing 😣

Whaaaaat the f..k is it

Ah don’t worry - it’s just a hugeyeasaurus fish :)

That’s escaped from WASP headquarters

Humans are enemies of nature.

If he were really shocked, that thing would be back in the water, and he'd be on his way home

They probably engineered it a while back, while working on their ubermensch... thought it could be used to hint at the Loch Ness monster... hence why they brought the topic up in the media recently, 1st time since they did that survey of the Loch. Maybe

Don't givvus that shite about 'believed to have nearly',find out if he nearly did and say so (or not if he didn't) you lazy bastards. Alternatively, hire some real journalists.

How much shall we charge people who use petrol or diesel for his catch? Mr mayor

Global warming obvs

like brothers from different mother's

Please don’t let women footballers see it, otherwise they will all want a sponsorship deal!🧐😎😂

I’ve seen that look at raves. Too much cocaine in the water looking at it.

Bullshit. That's a RatFish..Chimaera Very deep water fish. Fakenews

“It is harmless to humans and gets its name from its long, thin tail that some scientists in the past believed resembled a rat’s”. Like many other creatures, harmless to us - shame we aren’t harmless to them.

Well eye'll be damned.

No other Google image result shows ratfish have massive eyes like this. I call shenanigans!

Jeepers!!

Its an Earthquake warning when deep sea fish come to the surface. Where was it caught? There was 5.0 magnitude volcano the other night near Iceland.

😢

That’s great , just kill it , karma

Result of sex on the beach.

Not much eating...
