YouTubers Catch GIGANTIC and Rare Fish Off Florida Coast
Recently, a few YouTubers including Jon B., Alex Peric, BlacktipH and LunkersTV hit up some off-shore fishing off the coast of Florida. Of course they expected to hook into some marlin, tuna or other large ocean gamefish, but they were NEVER expecting to have one of these on the end of the line. This entire video of offshore fishing is awesome, but if you're just here for the big one, skip to the 10:09 mark.
Sawfish are some of the more mysterious and rare fish in the entire ocean. The guys estimated this one at about 16 feet, but it was hard to get a real measurement as it is illegal to take them out of the water. They have a protruding lip (or mouth, or something like that) that is pretty much a huge jagged saw. According to Wikipedia:"Sawfishes, also known as carpenter sharks, are a family of rays characterized by a long, narrow, flattened rostrum, or nose extension, lined with sharp transverse teeth, arranged so as to resemble a saw. Several species of sawfishes can grow to about 7 m (23 ft). The family as a whole is largely unknown and little studied. "If you ever hook into a fish so rare you have to call the government to see what to do with it, you know you've got a once in a lifetime catch.
