Garry Goodyear has come across some odd species in his time as a deep-sea fisherman, but nothing like this. The Canadian fisherman says he was baffled by a strange creature that was hauled on board in his net.

Goodyear had spent the day fishing for turbot in north Bonavista Bay, off the coast of Newfoundland, when the crew began hauling up the net from about 800 meters below.
