Jurassic sea monster? - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Anybody know what this is? I wasn't thinking, and grabbed it by the lip to unhook it. Snapped down on my thumb like an alligator. Luckily the teeth weren't too big, and lucky again it only held the grip for about 5 seconds. Had fins like an eel.

That is definitely what it is. They are very common and very aggressive. They will strike at baits far larger than they are if they appear injured.

I was afraid that would happen, but I was too busy when I replied to tell you I was being serious!
