What The Hell Is This Sea Monster?

    And how long until it kills us all?

    Someone in New Jersey caught this horrifying creature while fishing.

    OK, what is it?

    The leading theory is that it's a really big sea lamprey, a horrifying parasitic creature that's scary even when it's not enormous. But some aren't convinced: given the limited scope of the photo, it's impossible to be sure just what that New Jerseyan speared.

    No, but seriously, what is it?
