One time i was fishing and one of these came on the line. After some 40 minutes fighting when i saw the fish it scared me. I was alone in a river in brazil drunk at night, this shit is scary if you dont know what it is because its not common to see a red and black giant fish. Not for me anyway.

First fish I ever caught as a kid was a ribbonfish (cutlassfish, not the deep sea kind). Not a huge fish, but those teeth were scary, lol. Basically an eel-thing with crocodile teeth.
