Looks they would make short work of the old pumpkinseads,anything with teeth like that you would have to think would be a full on feeder smashing into a live bait...

Looks like something out of a horror movie. The fish from space or mother-in-law visiting.

I saw a Rex H (or should that be C?) show on fishing Africa and they were after these things for a couple of days. Finally caught a few and they went off. The one in the picture is about 5x what Rexxie was catcing.

Rex caught something other than trevally or sharks ? That should've been on the news . Or perhaps Ripleys.
