Most people only experience the kind of fish found in stores and are completely unaware that some species can grow to incredible sizes.

Some might call that a "big fish story."

These are very old and strange fish. They are huge but kind of flat proportionately and they frequently go to the surface of the water, as if they are trying to sun themselves, which is how I think they get the name. They are harmless (although so huge they can do some damage probably if they wanted to) and they are curious so they will not run away when you go by them with a boat. You usually see them when they "flop" their big dorsal fin over while they are at the surface. They go to the surface so that birds will come and eat parasitic worms off their skin which is prone to parasites. They do the same with certain fish in the water who clean them.

I'll never forget the first time I saw one just a few years ago - I was deep-sea fishing, about 30 miles off the coast of Montauk, Long Island. When you are that far out, the water is a really interesting shade of deep blue, which was my first surprise, but then these things were the other surprise, we saw several and they are huge and weird!

God's creation is so amazing - just more evidence of Him, as I see it.
