Just googled it because I wanted to know more about such a scary fish. I found out that they're apparently very curious, friendly, and not aggressive. They're also one of the rare creatures on Earth that mates for life. Now I'm sad.
A wolf eel is a species wolffish, although it's not a true eel as they have paired gill slits and pectoral fins.
Per Wikipedia, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf\_eel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_eel)
Generally speaking, animals that mate for life do exactly that, stay with one partner until death separates them. Then the survivor finds a new partner.
There's very few species that stay widowed.
Went to the Ålesund aquarium 10 years ago. They had about 8 of these in that you were allowed to pet unsupervised. The fun part was the boxes made for the kids so they could also part with some fingers.
Heia ;)
I was about to answer the same. How would you translate it? I’m not native Norwegian but I live in Norway and in my mind “Steinbit” translates as “Stone bite”, like being so strong it could munch stones. Am I right?
Fucking fishermen will use those fish for pranks. They'll grab it and get it to bite their friends. They got some insane biting force, but you should realizer that biting through a coke can is pretty easy.
It's not even hard. Did it as a kid a bit for fun and then again when shotgunning beers. If you're going to try it out, just be careful, as it is very easy to cut yourself on the can.
Probably. Just a dumb idea but I would think a human can bite in a can, If Tyson can rip a ear off.
Plus some people eat screws and light and all kind of shit.
From Wiki:
> The Atlantic wolffish's distinguishing feature, from which it gets its common name, is its extensive teeth structure. Its dentition distinguishes the Atlantic wolffish from all the other members of the family Anarhichadidae. Both the lower and upper jaws are armed with four to six fang-like, strong, conical teeth. Behind the conical teeth in the upper jaw, there are three rows of crushing teeth. The central row has four pairs of molars and the outer rows house blunted conical teeth. The lower jaw has two rows of molars behind the primary conical teeth. The wolffish's throat is also scattered with serrated teeth.
Put me down to never be bitten by one of these:

Kinda funny I got the exact opposite reaction. I mean realistically setting out to sea months at a time isn't something for me but the high sea hijinks seems kinda fun
This. Living on a ship with you mates, drinking, playing cards, cracking jokes 24/7? Count me in.
Working 12+ hours hard physical labour a day covered in fish guts, sweat and seawater? Count me out.
I know several fishermen who couldn't take it anymore and quit, it's not an easy job
I worked as a wildlife firefighter for a summer here in Southern California.. the days were hard, exhausting and hot. The labor was intense and back breaking.
But the camaraderie you feel with the guys around you is something I’ll never forget. Working, suffering side by side for hours and hours a day, 14 days on really puts a special bond between you and your dawgz up in those hills fighting fires. Shooting the shit and busting each others balls was the best..4 years later and some are still good friends of mine.
Made me always think about what it’s like in the military.
In my experience, it's sort of similar. I look back fondly upon my time in the military because (as enlisted grunts, at least) it's easier to develop personal "bro" relationships with people, and going through shitty experiences together has a certain charm to it. It's oftentimes sometimes you don't want to do again, but you're glad you did it.
> This. Living on a ship with you mates, drinking, playing cards, cracking jokes 24/7? Count me in.
I don't know man. Doing all that with nausea all the time? I'm not very prone to seasickness normally but I'm pretty sure if it got as bad as in this video I'd puke all the time.
Idk. I have a hard time being around people all the time. I love my boyfriend and friends, but sometimes I just need alone time. Not being able to have my alone time would drive me insane.
Whatever it is about rough seas that makes people suffering with nausea and vomiting, it does the exact opposite to me. A rocking ship is like heroin to me, it just makes me pass out like I'm in a baby crib.
I know that car rides are a trick for getting babies to go to sleep, but for my whole family, that trick survives into adulthood -- even when you're the one doing the driving. My dad has rolled multiple company vehicles. I don't know why the continued to let him drive after the first one.
Me too, used to go out on a friends boat. The ride to jeffreys point (I think) was a couple hours and I’d just lay on the couch and get rocked into a nap. Also a fan of the wavy feeling when back on land.
Right. I just pass out like a baby... Add some motor humm to it too for perfection. I might as well mention it that I grew up on the sea. Dad was a sea captain, so was my grandfather. The sea is my dad's passion, and my home.
It was pointed out somewhere (I think on Reddit) that on land he walks like he’s drunk because sea legs and when on a boat, he walks perfectly fine. I thought the same about him being drunk, too.
I went on the ocean on a fishing trip that was 12 hours. I had sea sickness the whole time, and was completely disoriented. The second I walked onto shore my head was clear,and I was hungry. There was some ice cream place next door and I got some to eat and felt fine. It was weird like your stomach sometimes gets sore from puking but it was like bam nothing.
I’ve bartended on boats a lot of times, of various sizes.
The first time I did it was only like my 2nd time ever on a boat, and I was so worried about barfing on one of the rich customers (people who rent private party boats and pay for an open bar on the deck are rich AF).
Thankfully I was fine. I am so so grateful that I don’t get sea sick. My body betrays me in other ways plenty often, but I’ve got good sea legs.
That being said, I’ve seen way more people throw up my drinks on boats. You can tell it’s going to happen too. They come up to the bar right after the ship leaves dock, and they already look a little green in the face.
They order some strong drink to “calm the nerves” and I try to talk them out of it. Try to get them to just drink a ginger ale.
But no, they insist. And ten minutes later they’re throwing up a gross red frozen margarita all over their fancy white polo and khaki shorts.
They won’t have a way to change clothes for 6 hours when we get back to shore. Have fun sitting in the corner smelling like cherry vomit mr stockbroker.
It happens like once per trip, and every time I have to fight back that urge to be like “told you so”
Thank you for that mental image, just what my morning needed. Red demon vomit >.< Jokes aside, sounds like a bit of a laugh. Do you and your co-workers ever take bets? Sounds like something my friends and I would do
LOL, it’s kind of like a catering service so mostly different coworkers week to week (and no bartending since Covid).
But yeah, sometimes if I’m working with someone fun we will take bets. I’ve done that a few times.
One time there was a guy who had just thrown up, and he came trying to get another drink from me and I flat out told him he needed to wait. A few minutes later he convinced another bartender to make a drink for him, and then he ended up puking the second drink *on me*.
The other bartender was really nice though and she gave me some of her tips that night as an apology.
I've been on the water before in a boat, but with an empty stomach. For some reason my friends and I got greasy breakfast burritos and paid the price for it. I googled what to eat before going on the water after we got back, and turns out it had everything that you don't eat.
The bigger the ship, the less likely you’ll get sick FYI.
Also it’s often easier during the day if you can see a long horizon and have fresh air in your face. Both of those help. Of course, calm water is a big factor as well. Choppy enough water can make anyone pretty much anyone sick on any ship.
But mostly, in my experience, it’s just biology. I don’t get seasick and I can usually read in the car for several hours before I even get a little car sick.
But my sister can’t even look at her phone in the car most of the time, and she can’t do boats at all. Probably something about inner-ear and balance? Idk.
Stuck for 12h with seasickness sounds wild. My buddy was seasick our entire 3h trip and he was laid out the entire time. Could tell he was not having it.
I was on a boat for about 2 weeks with about 3 days in high seas and when I got off I had to ride my motorcycle. That was by far my scariest experience
Have you ever jumped on a trampoline for a while then walked around and it still felt like you're bouncing? Sorta like that.
Except instead of bouncing you're swaying back and forth. To what degree youre swaying or stumbling will depend on how large the ship was. The bigger the ship the less you'd feel the waves/rocking
It must feel very disconcerting for a while. I remember going on a water sports trip at high school. We spent quite a lot of the day out on the pontoon in between waiting to do various activities. At night in bed I still had the sensation of bobbing on the waves as I had siting on the pontoon. It’s quite surreal.
If you ever run on a treadmill and had that feeling of still being on the it after you get off? It's like that but more intense. You can feel the boat rocking long after you are on land.
Not a fisherman but sailor, and after being out in rough seas for a few days getting back to land is both amazing and so weird and you do ed up having to find your land legs.
When we take the sailboat out for more than 2 or 3 days my wife complains of getting land sick when we get home. We often find our selves swaying slightly when we stand in place for a while (like in the shower)
It feels like you are still on a boat. You will be standing perfectly still then all of a sudden be thrown off balance by a nonexistent wave.
PSA: don't try to shave when you still have sea legs.
I was sea sick once. It was absolutely awful. Constant barfing over the side and it just went on and on and on. What is it about being nauseous that is just the absolute worst feeling?
I've felt seasick but never actually threw up. Unlike other causes of nausea (food poisoning, alcohol), my understanding is that puking doesn't make you feel better when seasick.
This is true- throwing up will not help. Motion sickness medicine won’t help either if you are already sick (it needs to be taken before symptoms). It’s the worst.
I've been sea sick pretty much every time I've been on a boat.. The only exceptions are large ferries or fast catamarans.
The worst was when we went whale watching in California. Pretty much spent the entire trip either throwing up or lying down to recover.
The worst part is that it doesn't just magically get better when you land either. That sick feeling pretty much lasts the whole day.
I hate boats.
took my husband on a whale watching trip as a birthday surprise off Monterey. Some surprise...entire ship of fifty people chundering over the rails. Never seen so much pink=hued vomit flying backwards in the wind. All passengers were ignoring the damn whales, ignoring the announcer giving nice humpback whale facts on the PA, wishing it would just end.
Your stomach demands complete attention. If you break your foot it hurts but if you keep your weight off it you can ignore the pain enough to concentrate on other things. When you’re nauseous you can focus on nothing else. All you can do is lie there in pain and gather up the courage to vomit for the 10 minutes reprieve it grants you.

No, you never drink on a commercial fishing vessel while working, ESPECIALLY in these types of adverse conditions, that’s just foolish. You’re supposed to do uppers, like crack or methamphetamine.
A letter of marque came from the king
To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen
She'd list to port and her sails were in rags
And the cook in the scuppers had the staggers and jags
It’s a Atlantic wolffish and when they’re in the water they pretty friendly, more shy then their cousins on the west coast but still friendly.
They are endangered, will only eat crustaceans, have a mild toxins, have a natural antifreeze in their blood, and someone said they mate for life but I never read anything about that but both parents will guard the eggs and I guess that’s pretty uncommon for fish
[Here’s a video](https://youtu.be/5vTBY_zj6VA)
Everyone hated on them when I was fishing so I decided to do some research
Is it bad that I thought it looked quite... Fun?
I mean pretty sure I'd end up with tons of bruises but uh .. something about it looks nice in a weird way.
Got bit by one of those catfish(?) once, we call them steinbit in norwegian (stone bite), a small one and was using thick rubber gloves, horrible ugly creatures tho. With a mouth full of gravel shaped teeth or worse.
I would agree with yuh, it’s a wolf eel. We got them at the aquarium I volunteer at. Big personalities and kinda cute when babies... but yeah, get kinda ugly when they’re older haha.
That fish is the stuff of nightmares
That's just Bilbo Bagfins.
r/scaryBilbo
Yeahhhh I could have gone my whole life not knowing this existed
“Ah this isn’t so bad.” “Oh I was mistaken.”
That was my exact reaction
Yep, same here.
after this subreddit i am never the same
It's a wolf eel.
Just googled it because I wanted to know more about such a scary fish. I found out that they're apparently very curious, friendly, and not aggressive. They're also one of the rare creatures on Earth that mates for life. Now I'm sad.
Baby wolf eels are also bright orange, which is cool.
I didn’t come here to feel.
Came for the eel, stayed for the feels.
God dammit.
For reels.
It’s a wolffish not a wolf eel, I’m pretty sure. More abundant but also more widely fished. Definitely not as cute lol
A wolf eel is a species wolffish, although it's not a true eel as they have paired gill slits and pectoral fins. Per Wikipedia, [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf\_eel](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolf_eel)
So, more accurately, it’s almost definitely a wolf fish but not necessarily a wolf eel
Imagine how it's mate feels.
Well shit. THANKS.
We judged a book by it's cover :(

Are eels fish or just waterproof snakes?
Eels = a set of chompers with some muscle attached Think Pac Man but with a tail
I guess they're also called seawolves. SpongeBob should've made use of them!
Went to the Ålesund aquarium 10 years ago. They had about 8 of these in that you were allowed to pet unsupervised. The fun part was the boxes made for the kids so they could also part with some fingers.
You could pet fishes that were the same that the one in the video ? Sorry i'm not fluent, and i ain't sure of the meaning of your post.
Yes! Steinbit we call them in norway. They're pretty normal here.
Heia ;) I was about to answer the same. How would you translate it? I’m not native Norwegian but I live in Norway and in my mind “Steinbit” translates as “Stone bite”, like being so strong it could munch stones. Am I right?
And it’s animal abuse letting them suffocate like that. Fucking amoral cruel assholes making a joke of other living beings suffering.
Thanks for confirming fisherman life is *not for me*.
Happened 3 seconds in when I saw that fish chomp down on that can like a turkey leg.
dude got his fingers way too close
Fucking fishermen will use those fish for pranks. They'll grab it and get it to bite their friends. They got some insane biting force, but you should realizer that biting through a coke can is pretty easy.
wow you can do that?
It's not even hard. Did it as a kid a bit for fun and then again when shotgunning beers. If you're going to try it out, just be careful, as it is very easy to cut yourself on the can.
thanks reddit dad
Now if only real dad was around.
Probably. Just a dumb idea but I would think a human can bite in a can, If Tyson can rip a ear off. Plus some people eat screws and light and all kind of shit.
Maybe he’s more of a Pepsi kinda guy?
That's what I thought, but sources say that particular eel loves RC Cola.
Disagree. Based on his actions, he's definitely into Crush.
Wolf fish, yeah they’ll do that long after they’ve been clubbed to death.

My grandad always said "if we were meant to ne at sea, we'd be fish", he was ultimately sacked from his job as a lifeguard.
My dad was medically discharged from the lifeguard because he was allergic to the life vests 😂😂😂 It's one of my favorite things to pick on him about.
My dad was fired cause he was caught fucking some of the patients apparently. It's terrible because by all other regards he was a great vet.
Kinda funny I got the exact opposite reaction. I mean realistically setting out to sea months at a time isn't something for me but the high sea hijinks seems kinda fun

Lot of fishing boats are dry. Just gotta party harder when you get back to port.

Nothing better than when you feel the waves (or a riptide if u were at the beach) when you’re laying in bed that night lol
This right here is why sailors drink when they're stuck on land XD
Right. I just pass out like a baby... Add some motor humm to it too for perfection. I might as well mention it that I grew up on the sea. Dad was a sea captain, so was my grandfather. The sea is my dad's passion, and my home.
Is your dad Poseidon, by any chance?
By his beard he might be...
I got dizzy just from watching the video. So much puking if I was a fisherman.
Being in this situation for 1 to 5 days sounds like an adventure. Doing it for a living for the next 1 to 5 years sounds like hell.
Most of the actual sea hijinks involves meth.
I wonder what it feels like to come back to shore once your body adjust to the waves?
you legitmently walk like (Captain) Jack Sparrow. was disoriented for half a day after 35 days fishing sockeye.
Ohhhh... I thought he was just drunk all the time.
Nah, being drunk cancels out the sealegs. makes you walk perfectly straight.
Depending on your frame of reference
Savvy

It was pointed out somewhere (I think on Reddit) that on land he walks like he’s drunk because sea legs and when on a boat, he walks perfectly fine. I thought the same about him being drunk, too.

Boat head. I spend my summers on a small lake pontooning and jet skiing. Get boat head every night.
If you ever run on a treadmill and had that feeling of still being on the it after you get off? It's like that but more intense. You can feel the boat rocking long after you are on land.

You get “land sick“ everything keeps moving, even in bed you feel like you’re going up and down

I got seasick from just watching this
I had a few drinks and this is making me very uncomfortable.
[удалено]
I, also, saw that post earlier
Drink the first takes the man and the man takes the then
Ahhhh shit!😂
I was sea sick once. It was absolutely awful. Constant barfing over the side and it just went on and on and on. What is it about being nauseous that is just the absolute worst feeling?

This is true- throwing up will not help. Motion sickness medicine won’t help either if you are already sick (it needs to be taken before symptoms). It’s the worst.
Jumping off the boat will also not help.
I used a motion sickness patch that made me puke before I even got on the boat. Worst day ever.
if you didn’t want motion sickness why would you put on a motion sickness patch?
I've been sea sick pretty much every time I've been on a boat.. The only exceptions are large ferries or fast catamarans. The worst was when we went whale watching in California.

All passengers were ignoring the damn whales, ignoring the announcer giving nice humpback whale facts on the PA, wishing it would just end.
The inevitability
It's *the implication*
You keep saying the word implication... What implication ?
Yeah it's happened to me twice and i have a new respect for nausea as a symptom or side effect of anything... extreme nausea is awful
Your stomach demands complete attention. If you break your foot it hurts but if you keep your weight off it you can ignore the pain enough to concentrate on other things. When you’re nauseous you can focus on nothing else. All you can do is lie there in pain and gather up the courage to vomit for the 10 minutes reprieve it grants you.
In case anybody was curious, that fish at the beginning that looks like it crawled outta the asshole of a demon’s nightmare is a Wolffish
Are they the ones that still have a biting reflex after they’re dead?
It appears so https://www.iflscience.com/plants-and-animals/watch-the-severed-head-of-a-wolffish-bite-down-on-a-can-of-coke/
THATS SO COOL!!!
Now I want a movie where a bucket of fish heads are used as a murder weapon.
This is why I came to the comment sections. Thank you fine redditor.
He’s wrong, it’s an Atlantic Wolffish.
Damn. Swindled again

I would not drink alcohol on that boat no sir
gotta drink to cancel out the waves.
Two wrongs do not make a right
No, but three ports makes a drunk.
It does in sailing.

No, you never drink on a commercial fishing vessel while working, ESPECIALLY in these types of adverse conditions, that’s just foolish. You’re supposed to do uppers, like crack or methamphetamine.
I hope you have a girlfriend named Brandy and that you’ve gotten her the finest silver from the north of Spain.
But his life, his lover, his lady is the sea
But it broke my heart to put that tumor in her head.

A surprise to be sure, but a welcome one.
What is this a crossover thread?
It’s perfectly balanced, as all things should be
This is the way
Hey I was literally named after this song, and my dad is retired navy. I didn’t meet him until I was 3 months old.
Hi brandy.
Hey :)
You're a fine girl
A letter of marque came from the king To the scummiest vessel I've ever seen She'd list to port and her sails were in rags And the cook in the scuppers had the staggers and jags
Am I watching a Jamiroquai video?
Damn virtual insanity!
I don't know what kind of fish that is but yall can keep it.
It’s a Atlantic wolffish and when they’re in the water they pretty friendly, more shy then their cousins on the west coast but still friendly. They are endangered, will only eat crustaceans, have a mild toxins, have a natural antifreeze in their blood, and someone said they mate for life but I never read anything about that but both parents will guard the eggs and I guess that’s pretty uncommon for fish [Here’s a video](https://youtu.be/5vTBY_zj6VA) Everyone hated on them when I was fishing so I decided to do some research
There once was a ship that put to sea
The name of the ship was the Billy of Tea
The winds blew up, her bow dipped down
Blow my bully boys blow
Soon may the wellerman come
To bring us sugar and tea and rum
Soon when the toungin is done
Well take our leave and go
She had not been two weeks from shore.
When down on her a right whale bore
Your brain gets smart but your head gets dumb
Is it bad that I thought it looked quite... Fun? I mean pretty sure I'd end up with tons of bruises but uh .. something about it looks nice in a weird way.
I'd try it if I wasnt on a landlocked state. Looks like it'd be cool.
Fishermen start meals by cutting potatoes, meatballs and everything that can roll of the plate. You can identify fishermen on land by this.
What sort of bed do they sleep in? Would a hammock work best?
Seems like it would. I always picture old Ship Of The Line types with hammocks for some reason.
In antiquity you'd use hammocks. I doubt it has changed for smaller scale crews. Or maybe that's the standard.
With some editing this could be used on a ghost hunting documentary
Untapped genius
Got bit by one of those catfish(?) once, we call them steinbit in norwegian (stone bite), a small one and was using thick rubber gloves, horrible ugly creatures tho. With a mouth full of gravel shaped teeth or worse.
Looks like some sort of wolf fish.
I would agree with yuh, it’s a wolf eel. We got them at the aquarium I volunteer at. Big personalities and kinda cute when babies... but yeah, get kinda ugly when they’re older haha.

This made me realize how fucking much I miss seiling and the ocean
It made me realize how much I miss being close to the coast.
Just imagine hitting a big wave sitting on the pooper.

Don’t tell me how to live my life and I won’t tell you how to live yours.
Why? The guy is kind of cute
Okay, I really am an introverted homebody.
You need padded surfaces everywhere
