well ive been heading down to NPH about once a week the past month targeting bass and halis. its been a decent bite on plastics BH's and Berks. Anyway last time out i got this weird looking fish. This guy looked like a fish head on an eels body! he had rows of big a** teeth like a mini shark. I was wondering if anybody could tell me what kind of fish this is???

i must say, when a person asks what kind of fish they caught, it almost seems to be a midshipmen like 90% of the time

These are the same fish as "toad fish" right? The ones that make loud audible noises when they're mating or whatever? BTW: has anybody ever cooked one of these up? Heh heh...
