This toadfish was caught off the Ringling Bridge fishing pier.
"The toadfish comprise the family Brachoididae, the only family in the ray-finned fish order Batrachoidiformes. Both the English common name and scientific name refer to their toad-like appearance (batrakhos is Greek for frog).
Toadfish are benthic ambush predators that favor sandy or muddy substrates where their cryptic coloration helps them avoid detection by their prey . Toadfish are well known for their ability to "sing", males in particular using the swim bladder as a sound-production device used to attract mates." - Wikipedia.com
