What fish is this?

[Red Devil]

wow ..thats unbelievable..

 

[msjinkzd]

creepy

 

[HardCandy]

Yeah it's a sheepshead.

That's not a sheephead! Sheepheads have black and white on their face and red on their body. Also, they have much sharper and canine-like teeth. I would know since they're my favorite fish to catch when I'm deep sea fishing. Good eating too!
