nefisherman92 This is one of the mates holding the larger of the two Wolffish I caught. Handling these monsters can be tricky these days as that menacing set of teeth is more than capable of liberating you from several of your fingers. The old method (for a keeper) was to bring it up on deck and promptly beat the s%@t out it with a club or bat. Now however, they must all be released alive due to their endagered status, so thee hook needs to carefully removed with a set of pliers, while keping your hands and feet clear of it's mouth.

pocketfisherman I've seen some HUUUGE wolffish over the years while deepsea fishing! Those things are nasty, but way cool and mean looking!
