Every fisherman can tell you about their greatest catch and what it took to reel it in. For a lobster fisherman in Maine, his greatest catch was definitely rare, but it almost cost him his hand. The fisherman shared video of the rare sea monster he caught recently, and the moment it almost bit his hand off.
Jacob Knowles was out at sea working to catch lobster recently when he came across something he had never seen before. The lobster fisherman happened to catch an Atlantic Wolffish, also known as a Wolf Eel that many are calling one of the creepiest looking fish they have ever seen. As seen in the clip shared by Knowles, the fish almost comes away with his hand as it squirms around trying to get back to the water.
According to Bro Bible, Knowles eventually tossed the fish back in the water, but not before giving it a taste of some fresh lobster first. While the fisherman didn’t leave home with a trophy of the rare catch, at least he has the video of proof. He probably prefers that to a lost hand anyways.
