Yipes!!!

A fisherman got quite the fright recently when he hauled in a strange creature with his catch.
Garry Goodyear, from the town of Templeman, N.L., on the north side of Bonavista Bay, was fishing for turbot on the Grand Banks last week.
He said the nets were down about 460 fathoms deep more than 800 metres and when the crew hauled them up later that afternoon, they all got a shock.
