This is a Toadfish. He's a little too big to be inside that pipe, but he was there anyway. Toadfish have very sharp teeth, do not stick your hand near their mouth. You will regret it!

The fish is an Oyster Toadfish (Opsanus Tau). I shot this at the Point Pleasant Canal in NJ. The water is approximately 20 feet deep and was running at 3.5-4 knots. I couldn't get close enough for a higher quality shot but I liked this one anyway.
