While walking along the shores of the beach, have you ever taken some time to take in all that’s before you? I mean, truly take it in. The ocean is massive, expanding beyond what your eyes can see. The fraction of the ocean that you are able to see extends so far that divers can’t go all the way down due to extreme pressure deep within the bowels of the ocean. Can you imagine all that lives down in the depths of the ocean? No one can. In fact, there are hundreds of sightings of new creatures surfacing each day. The following are giant mystery fish hooked or beached around the world.

Giant Mystery Fish Weighing 222 Pounds – At Rathlin Island, off Antrim coast, Andy Logan was surprised in 2012 to catch the biggest fish of his life. Logan said he had to chase the 6×8 foot, 222-pound mystery fish into open water. The chase was so intense, Logan thought he had hooked a submarine instead of a fish. Fortunately, Logan is a scientist of sorts, working to protect large, breeding fish like the one he caught. He threw the giant fish back in the water and anticipates catching him again when he weighs 300 pounds.

Giant Monster Fish on Rabbit Island – In 2013, many onlookers on the beach of Rabbit Island were surprised to see a gigantic fish. Beached on the shore, the mysterious fish has a body like an eel and many sharp teeth. Richard de Hamel from the University of Otago explains that the fish may be a frostfish. Frostfish typically come to shore when there is frost on the ground, which is how they got their name.

Giant Jellyfish Beaches on the Shores of Tasmania – Warm, tropical waters seem to always hold mysterious creatures. This giant jellyfish is no exception. Although jellyfish are common in tropical waters, it is one of the biggest ever seen in Tasmania. The bell of this fish measures about five feet. Using an estimation of the length of the tentacles, experts say this jellyfish measures about 79 feet.

Mysterious Starfish Caught near Singapore – A businessman fishing was surprised to bring an alien-looking creature in his boat. Without hesitation he captured the live animal on video. Experts call this a basket starfish; it is in the same family as those little adorable star-looking fish everyone loves. This basket starfish has five arms that branches out into more arms, which are used to capture prey and move along the coral.

Small, Mysterious Fish with No Face – In the Arabian Sea, on the shores of Karachi, Sindh, Pakistan, a small, yet unknown fish washed ashore. The fish was described by many as having no face, yet had four eyes. Many onlookers examining the fish considered it an omen about their elections during the time. However, the Former Head of Ministry of Local Fisheries and Aquatic Exploration, Azaad Muqam analyzed the fish, and said it was a mutation, but was it?

Rare, Frill Shark Caught in Australia – If you are searching for fascinating finds with mysterious fish, then the waters surrounding Australia will be your treasure chest. Many unusual and rare fish have been found in Australia’s deep waters. Shocked by his catch, a fisherman caught a frill shark with a mouth full of sharp teeth. The body of the shark is reminiscent of an eel, long and slender. The shark is estimated to be about 5 feet long.

Giant, Mutant Fish Caught Off Shores of Japan – A fisherman passing time fishing was shocked to pull up the catch of his life while fishing near the site of the Fukushima nuclear power plant disaster of 2011—a huge wolffish. Normally these fish are about three feet long, but Hirasaka Hiroshi’s catch was six feet long. Many scientists in the area attribute the size of the fish to the nuclear accident that happened in 2011.

Mysterious Armour Fish with Tusks – Near Malaysia, in the South China Sea lurks a mysterious fish unknown to man until Sapar Mansor hooked him recently. Covered in sharp spines, the fish’s body is angled, narrowing towards its tail. With tusks like an elephant, one can only imagine how they are used in the deep blue waters of the ocean.

Mystery creatures of the sea continue to stun scientists and fisherman alike. Whether they are exploring new areas of the ocean or fishing with their friends, fish and other ocean creatures continue to make their way to the surface attracting many onlookers in the process.
