Anybody know what this is?

We came across this yesterday and I have no idea what it is?

A Sunfish, or Mola mola. Gentle, they eat jelly fish.

Ran in to a bunch of those off of Destin years ago. They were huge. We snagged one by accident and he got all upset. Jumped clear out of the water right next to the small boat we were in. Scared us pretty good. Only time I've ever seen one. They are funky looking fish!

Strange! Learn something every day!

That’s it. Thanks. It wasn’t bothered by the boat at all. Wild.

I believe we ran across one last fall. I was never able to get a picture of it. We only saw the one. We were out nears Grays. Where were you?

We were at L Reef. Here’s a better picture that my buddy got.

Came across one snorkeling off of Cancun years ago. Very unafraid of me getting close to it. It was about 4-6 feet tall, plus the fins on top and bottom.

They are the largest species of boneyards fish, really cool. Nice photos.
