Monkfish are a type of angler fish, if you look on the pictures with one in it, it kinda has one of those angler fish things on its head...Im a nerd so dont sue me cause im smart

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And for your learning pleasure, no matter how much you hate it...

 

 

 

Monkfish are marine bottom-dwelling fishes belonging to the family, Lophiidae. These fishes have very broad, depressed heads (head is as wide as the fish is long) and enormous mouths. They have long, sharp teeth and a modified spine called an "esca", that is quite mobile and can be angled forward so it can dangle in front of the fish's mouth and be wiggled like bait to lure its prey. Monkfish range from the Grand Banks and northern Gulf of St. Lawrence south to Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. They are occasional visitors to the lower Chesapeake Bay from late fall to early spring. They inhabit sand, mud, and broken shell bottoms from inshore areas to depths greater than 800 m (2,300 ft).

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Monkfish reach maturity between ages 3 and 4, and spawning can take place from spring through early fall depending on latitude. Females lay a non-adhesive, buoyant gelatinous egg mass that floats as a broad raft on the water's surface. Larvae and juveniles are pelagic and remain in this stage for several months before they settle to the bottom at a size of about 3 inches. Monkfish grow rapidly with females reaching approximately 39 inches and living to 12 years of age. Males have not been found older than age 9, and their total lengths reach approximately 35 inches. Monkfish are voracious predators and feed on benthic fishes and other prey almost as big as themselves

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And everyones favorite fun facts...

 

 

 

Monkfish have been reported to eat prey nearly one-half their size, as well as capture waterbirds at the surface.

 

 

 

Monkfish are sometimes known as "allmouth" since the fish is mostly head and the head is mostly mouth

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

And a nasty yet awesome photo...
