Not a freakin' clue, but I chimed in so I can become informed. Just what the hell is going on with the back end...3 tails ?

I'm guessing it's some species of shark. The reason I say so is that I think the two things beside it's tail are reproductive organs. I've seen this on television on some of the nature shows like the "Blue Planet". Some, if not all, male sharks have two reproductive organs. Again, this is just a wild a-- guess. If somebody does identity this thing please post it as I'm sure there are others that would like to know.

it looks like a skate that someone cut the wings off of and threw back into the water

Hey Bucky. I've never seen a skate before but after looking at a picture of one you may be right.

But after replaying the video I don't see anything that would indicate that the wings had been cut off. More like it never had them. Strange critter. I just don't know.

Reminds me of some of the things they used to have in bottles of formaldehyde in the "freak shows" at the county fairs years ago.

It appears to be a skate tangled in the fishing tackle.
