Saltwater sunfish ? First for me -
never heard of such a thing 'til
now ! This beast was caught in someone's fishing net somewhere
off the coast of North Africa !
Marine biologists estimated the weight at around 4,400 lbs. !
Heard of those. Was an old story years ago about a diver encountered one somewhere off the coast here by Galveston. Story goes the thing had the guys leg down it’s throat , and he managed to get away, that’s the story. Kinda like the giant catfish that live at the dam at Sam Rayburn , that are so big their mouths are a mans shoulders width. Anybody local to Texas ever heard about the sunfish / Galveston or catfish / Rayburn?
