Fishos surprise a massive Queensland groper

And it wasn't happy.

The Queensland Groper is one of the largest bony fishes, and is the largest on coral reefs. The species has been implicated in fatal attacks on humans, but none are fully documented.

Community comes together to rescue 5,000-6,000 fish

Volunteers, teaming up with state and federal workers, rescued nearly 7,000 fish from dwindling waters along the Deschutes River near Bend.

Last year thousands of fish died in this same channel when water was drawn down for annual winter re-fills of local reservoirs for the following years irrigation.

This year, through the combined efforts of ODFW, USFS, USFW, Bend Casting Club, Trout Unlimited, Deschutes River Conservancy volunteers were able to rescue somewhere between 5,000-6,000 fish including Redband, Rainbow, and Brown Trout, Mountain Whitefish, Kokanee, and Sculpin.

Behold the Tunicorn

There was green alligators and long-necked geese,
Some humpty backed camels and some chimpanzees.
Some cats and rats and elephants, but sure as you're born,
The loveliest of all was the tunicorn.

A north Australian fisho got the shock of his life when he reeled in a tunicorn - a tuna with a large horn protruding from the centre of its forehead.

The poor fish had a 40cm sailfish bill protruding from it’s head like a horn, much like an aquatic equivalent of the legendary horse-like unicorn.
