While fishing for blue halibut off the coast of Norway, Oscar Lundahl got a nibble. Because of the depth of the line, it took Lindahl nearly 30 minutes to reel in his prize. But what was at the end of the line looked like something from a Stephen King movie. It had gigantic eyes, a short body and a long tail. Honestly, it doesn’t look real. But it is!

Commonly known as a Ratfish, this deep-sea creature has been around for around 300 million years. But catching one isn’t common. The fish is a relative of the shark but isn’t considered a threat to humans.
