A lobsterman in Maine shared a video of possibly the creepiest fish ever seen. Let me introduce you to the Atlantic Wolffish. The video was posted by Jacob Knowles, a fifth generation lobsterman here in Maine. Jake posted the video on his TikTok page, and it blew up. The vicious creature got stuck in the lobster trap, and completely obliterated everything in it. All that's left are some dead lobster carcasses and, well, the giant wolffish. According to NOAA, the Atlantic Wolffish is a protected species. The numbers have drastically decreased over the years due to overfishing. Jake mentions their drastic situation and explains why he will release it back into the Atlantic.
