I was out fishing and i pulled in this fish. My uncle calls it a clam crusher but i cant find the real name of it. I cant find any matching pictures or any entries anywhere matching the nickname. I was hoping someone can help identify it

It looks like a monk fish. They're actually going for decent money now and they're called poor man's lobster because they're delicious.

I may have run into one of those a few months ago.

Or maybe not. Yeah, no. Nevermind.

Good job asshole. You just killed a really rare fish. Keep going and they will all be dead pretty soon.

Keeping these may or may not be legal in the waters you got this one from, but you should never keep anything that you are not 100% sure is legal sport fish.

Go get a regulations book. Some species are highly protected for good reason.
