Did someone try to eat it? Donate it to Science? or Did the sea reclaim her? If you already mentioned it, I apologize that I missed it.

You know that this find is even rarer than winning the lottery, but did you go out and get a lottery ticket right away jut the same. Maybe your luck will continue.

Are you the same Mike Kanzler that found this one in 1993? See link attached -- Oarfish

Mike
Yes I'm the same guy from 1993 oarfish story. Yup been here on this rock awhile and am looking out on the water from the office right now... thinking about fishing runs coming up this weekend. Didn't eat it or try.... too hot (95) for storage and or anyone wanting to pick it up for studies. Thing was breaking up as we were pulling them from my boat. Super soft and weak fish. Such a weird fish and birds of the dock were not very interested, so the sea reclaimed her as it was most likely the plan from the begining.

Mike, Thanks for the reply. You must be in a hot zone for oarfish sightings -- 2 in 14 years. Pretty cool. Call me in seven years just before your next sighting and we'll both buy lottery tickets.

Mike

Mike I just want to say thanks for stopping by here to say hi. I still think that your story and pictures are one of the best threads I have ever seen on Bloody Decks. It was good talking to you and Doug. If you get a chance stop back by on your way back to Baja Sur.

Hi Mike. What a strange encounter. Once in a while someone here in Hawaii catches something weird but it's usually quite ugly. This fish is not only weird but beautiful. Thanks for sharing your photos........Aloha

And it was very nice meeting you. I'll be sure to get you a printed copy of the oarfish for you and all at Don Eddie's on my way back down next month.
