Caught it in Barnegat Bay between BB and BI buoy.

The houndfish, Tylosurus crocodilus, is a gamefish of the family Belonidae. It is the largest ... 10 pounds (4.5 kg). It is also often called the Crocodile Needlefish.

We caught one last year just north of the 40 buoy while fluke fishing. Great fight. Nice teeth...

Caught one the same size today in the bay near BI. He put up one :xxx: of a fight!

Getting him on-hooked without getting bit was a challenge.

Just goes to show you never know what you're going to see out there.

Toothy critter John. I didn't think the big ones came in the bay.
