12 Terrifying Pictures of Ugly Fish
When ocean fishing or lake fishing, there is always the possibility of catching unique creatures at any time. Some times anglers get lucky and catch things that fascinate everyone. These pictures often become viral. As our curiosity grows about our oceans and lakes, so does the curiosity for the extremely weird things that live in them.
These terrifying monster fish or animals come in all shapes and sizes. Some look as if they are right from child's nightmare, while others are mutant-looking as if they were pulled right from the waters of Chernobyl. There should not be many things that haunt the nightmares of most anglers. Maybe the occasional thought of the "one that got away". But after compiling this list we are sure some of these will make you thing twice the next time you go in the water.
1) The BlobFish
No this is not a picture of blobfish sunglasses, although they are a great brand and make great sunglasses. This was 2016's world ugliest fish. The best fish picture to start this article out with, THE BLOBFISH.
The blobfish is a deep water fish that can be found often in depths of 2000ft to 3900ft. An interesting fact about the blobfish is its body is a gelatinous mass, creating a body density less than water. This allows for the fish to float above the ocean floor and not exert energy on swimming.
This goes down as one of the ugliest and scariest fish found in the ocean. Looks like its right out of Hollywood, except this blob isn't engulfing people or buildings.
2. Sarcastic Fringehead
The sarcastic fringehead or the modern day Predator looking fish is something not of this planet. A small bottom dwelling fish that often resembles a goby, until it opens its mouth displaying its true colors.
These fish tend to be very territorial like their distant cousin, the alien predator, is with earth. Opening their mouth displays an extended jaw line made up of multiple colors. You can think of their mouth like you think of a peacocks feathers. This is all for show. If you saw this fish in the wild, it is guaranteed sure you would have to give it a second look.
3. The Tiny Tiny Candiru
This little guy is probably the smallest fish on our list. The Candiru looks awful harmless and I bet most people would even say it is even cute. This is one that needs to be feared! This is a parasitic catfish that has a huge appetite for blood.
This fish has a history of swimming up mens urethra and feasting in the persons bladder. It may not look like the scariest fish on the planet, but the pain it can cause can bring a grown man to his knees.
4. Wonderfish: Fish With Its Own Fishing Pole
This fish is truly a weird and exotic fish. It is also known as the wolf trap due to its lower jaw that forms to look like a trap. Thank God this is a deep water fish, because if you were ever to come face to face with this ugly fish you may think twice about swimming in the ocean again.

5. The Deep Sea Lizardfish

6. Acient Sea Serpent: The Oar Fish
Very rarely do people encounter the oar fish. This deep sea fish can reach lengths up to 36 feet. In ancient times, it is believed when sailors and fishermen experienced a sea serpent, it could have potentially been an oar fish. In our opinion this is still a very ugly fish. Although it is a gentle giant, it will always turn heads.

The first shark to make the list. This rare species of shark is found in the deep sea. It is often times referred to as a "living fossi.l" It belongs to the family of sharks dating back million and millions of years. This goblin shark gets a A+ in the scary fish photo category. With a grill like that, it's only one a mother could love.
