    Default Ughhh, what is dis....


    Never seen one of these in person. I don't think it was a leach because it had slight fin down the back and belly. Fell off in the boat after a minute or so out of the water

    It Is an eel,,,, In the Lampree family.. I caught several fish in Brackish water that had the marks where one had been attached, When I lived in Florida. The fish eel has a mouth similar to a Lizzard, I have caught enough of them to fill a 55 Gal Drum. The St Johns River is full of them. Comercial Fishermen send them to Japan By the Ton

    A lamprey, got 2 kinds in La and way to tell em apart is their teeth arrangement. Some of the scars/lesions you see on fish are likely from these. Straight out of a science fiction movie!




    edit to add: Dang that water looks calm! Hopefully stays that way through the weeekend
