Shawnmoore81 623 Posted October 15, 2013 Out in Cali some divers found an 18' oar fish. These things were suppose to only get to 3'. Goes to show you that you never know what's lurking in the ocean http://www.cbsnews.com/8301-205_162-57607609/18-foot-serpent-like-sea-creature-found-off-california/ Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk HD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

fishnut 2,358 Posted October 15, 2013 Don't know where you got your misinformation this time but the oar fish family is the longest bony fish species alive today. One of the members of the oar fish family Regalecus glesne has reached 56 feet in length. That's just a little more than the 3 feet you claim. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

In my youth we would catch something called a Cutlass fish but I've only seen them grow about 5 to 6 feet.....Perhaps that's what the OP was referring to.

nitrospaz9 10 Posted October 16, 2013 On the last page of the article it says they can reach up to 50 feet. I'd shit myself if that was ever near me in the ocean Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

seamusSU 0 Posted October 16, 2013 wow imagine seeing something like this while taking a swim ?!?!?.... That's not really a big concern, unless you routinely swim at depths of around 3000 feet where these beasts live Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Heck, my three year old saw that picture, told me it was an oarfish then told me all about them. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KMlOtLEzN8s&feature=youtube_gdata_player Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ogfarmer 138 Posted October 19, 2013 I guess since legend says that when Oarfish beach them selves their warning of a upcoming Earthquake, And there was beaching months before Japans Earthquake that caused the Tsunami. Is this when Commifornia finally falls into the ocean like they been saying for decades. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
