Aye it's a hagfish, they latch on to healthy fish and feed on them, boring a hole through them. was it latched on to your mackeral bait?

 

[SnaggedUpLad]

Was sucked onto mussle bait, yeah it was a slimey fecker like lol when he pulled it in my first thought was glad he's taking it off the line not me lol

 

[BAZACODBASHA]

Definitely a Hag Fish.................slimiest creature in the sea !

 

[paulthespark]

it's a hagfish, a nasty parasite that lives on other marine animals especially fish,they clag themselves on to the body of a fish and basically suck the life force out of that fish, yet if you are a hagfish this is normal way to live,as repusive as it is to us, every animal in the sea has it's place.

Urrghhhh. looks like a giant leech

 

[cocomonkey19k]

i would have whipped it straight back onto the hook and sent it packing give other fish a chance to feed on that instead of it feeding on them. lol

 

[SnaggedUpLad]

lol nice one scott, tell you what like phill actually classed that as a catch , technically it took his bait and is living lol

 

[cocomonkey19k]

is he really that desperate these days lol

 

[phill_itofish]

is he really that desperate these days lol

yip lol come on lads a fish is a fish lol

 

[Mogthemackem]

It's unlikely but unless you caught it in the mouth it's not classed as a catch phil. I got one in the mough but probably just foul hooked it in there as caught loads of these horrible things but usually just in a ball of slime round my hooks
