There was no detail missed when converting this child's wheelchair into an angler's dream boat, complete with a nice catch hanging off the side!

2. Horse-Fish

I don't have a pet horse, but if I did, I imagine I'd also have a horse with a fishing Halloween costume.

3. Dog Gorton's Fisherman

Any dog costume is a good dog costume, in my opinion.

4. Can Of Worms

"A" for effort, although those worms do look a lot like gigantic creepy fingers. Happy Halloween!

THE BAD

1. Baby-Eating Fish

Maybe a good rule for all of us this Halloween can be "Don't have any costume that eats your child."

3. Billy Bass Wannabe

How? Isn't that heavy? Where do you see? Big Mouth? Where is the mouth even? Did you paint that? Why? So many questions.

4. Boiled Lobster Baby

Another good rule with fishing Halloween costumes is to a) not carry your baby in a pot and b) not pretend to boil/eat your baby.
