ZHOUSHAN, China, - A group of Chinese fisherman are turning to the Internet for help identifying a bizarre sea creature they caught in waters off Zhejiang Province.
The video, filmed April 25 in Zhoushan, shows the creature being reeled in by the fisherman and examined by the group, who use a pole to lift the strange fish's head out of the water for a better look.
The fishermen said they were unable to identify the animal, which they described as much larger than the fish they normally catch in the area.
The creature was described as having "two plump places on its under jaw with one tooth on each."
It was unclear whether the fishermen ultimately released the creature or captured it for further study.

Looks more like something from the whale family. Couldn’t tell if that was a spout on it’s back..there was no activity. The poor thing looked dead.

Thank you. Didn’t see your post prior to posting. It had a spout or what looked like a spout to me...but no activity. Poor thing must have been dead.

Actually, even a lot of little kids will know Jimmy - from "Frosty the Snowman" - The Rankin/Bass Christmas cartoon.

Looks more to me like a soft lipped bottom-feeding Cruzer. Generally considered a trash fish.

Wow. Jimmy Durante.
One of the greatest scenes in my time was watching Jimmy literally “kick the can” in “It’s a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad world.” (Did I get enough “Mads” in there?

I have a little stuffed moose made from blue and green plaid fabric. In honor of that movie, I named it a “plaid, plaid, plaid, plaid moose”!
