LOS ANGELES (AP) — A marine science instructor snorkeling off the Southern California coast spotted something out of a fantasy novel: the silvery carcass of an 18-foot-long, serpent-like oarfish.

Jasmine Santana of the Catalina Island Marine Institute needed more than 15 helpers to drag the giant sea creature with eyes the size of half dollars to shore Sunday.

That is a cool fish, Apparently(they said) they can get much larger!?

I am impressed, not helping my growing ocean phobia though.

Can reach up to an estimated 56 feet in length. Wonder what it would be like to catch on a fishing pole? Then deep fried or baked?
