Catch of the day

Imagine a relaxing father-son fishing trip at the lake. You get a nibble, start reeling it in, then this comes out of the water.

Jose Chavez and his father were reportedly using a chicken liver as bait in an Arizona lake when they snagged an alligator gar. The predtors, which are illegal in Arizona even to keep in a tank, have razor-sharp teeth and look like something you’d find at the natural history museum. 

I think I’ll stick to fishing for striper and catfish. This thing scares me.
