Nate Iszac, 39, caught a terrifying looking fish off the coast of Alaska earlier this month. The fish possesses huge, razor-sharp teeth.
He took a few pictures with t he strange creature that was later identified as a wolf eel.
Wolf eels can grow to over 7ft long, using their powerful jaws to crush their prey.
Nate shared: “When I look at it, I feel both nervous and excited. I have never seen a fish like this before, look at its teeth!”
Nate, who lives in Oregon, USA, said he caught a giant eel in the Bering Sea, off Akutan Island in Alaska on March 9. However, shortly after taking a few pictures with this fish, he released it back into the ocean.
After seeing the photos taken on social media, one person wrote: “It’s a real-life sea monster”.
Another wrote: “Glad Nate didn’t get bitten by him, his jagged teeth make him look so ferocious.”
Also earlier this month, five men caught a 900lb (~410kg) shark off the coast of Sydney, Australia.
They wrestled with the giant tiger shark for 45 minutes before pulling it onto their small boat.
Tiger sharks are known for their ferocious nature. They are second only to great white sharks in attacking humans.
