Best Answer

A mouthful of prominent sharp teeth and a 'fishing rod' coming out of its head with a light on the end, to attract meals in the depths of the trenches you'll find these huge fish. Hence, the name, angler fish because he fishes for his food. Aka the monkfish. It can be eaten and is quite sought after for that and sportfishing. The females are 200 X bigger than the males, who latch onto the females side and die, leaving their reproductive organs for the female to use at her leisure. Quite interesting fish.
