1:37Now PlayingMaryland fisherman Brian Summerlin freaked out the internet after snagging a record 17-pound fish that possessed a mouthful of “human teeth.” NY Post Features reporter Ben Cost shares this story.
“They’re amazing fish that have adapted to the food they eat,” the 38-year-old angler told Pen News of his anthropomorphic-looking haul, which he caught on September 17 in the Tangier Sound off Crisfield.
The fish was a sheepshead, a bottom-dwelling species that uses its eerily human-like chompers to pulverize the barnacles and crustaceans on which it feeds.
Accompanying photos show the dentally-endowed swimmer, whose teeth evoke a regular fish after being squirted with the Joker’s laughing gas.
Summerlin had reportedly been fishing with soft crab in around 15 feet of water when something big bit his line.
“I thought it was a black drum at first, due to the way the fish was fighting with some big head shakes, but then I saw it was a very large sheepshead as it surfaced near the boat,” Summerlin said.
