This is where it's all going on. One can ask for advice or general information or simply chew the fat about fishing tackle, tips, and locations.

I say it's fake :)

Ugly as hell though but fake...

Hello

Your right we will all sleep better knowing it is a fake. Or at least it is only found in the southern Hemisphere.

The only thing I can come up with is that it's one of those "papier mache" fish they use in parades(Mardi Gras, Chinese New Year) But that mouth looks pretty freakin' realistic doesn't it!! damn scary!! But, I believe it is fake. :lol:
