Florida fisherman caught a 800lb sea monster
A FLORIDA fisherman thought he was gonna need a bigger boat after snagging a rare 800lb sea monster off Miami Beach.
Captain Mark Quartiano, better known as 'Mark the Shark', posted a photo of the bizarre catch on Instagram on November 23 with the caption, "rare deep water dactylobatus caught while filming a TV show soon to air at the end of the year."
Very little is known about the species of fish apart from the fact it mostly inhabits muddy bottoms of the continental slope at depths of up to 3000ft.
Quartiano, who tagged and released the beast back into the ocean, told ABC news "it's like a big gigantic whipping stingray."
"It's a dinosaur," he said.
"It was very old. It had baacles all over it."
