We saw this bright vertical shiny thing. We zoomed in a little bit and said 'that's a fish!'

appears to be the same fish as in the video
“On this occasion the fish was observed underneath Thunderhorse in the Gulf of Mexico, one of the largest semi-submersible oil rigs in the world.”

They didn’t kill the one in the video, the only way these are typically observed is after they are dead and happen to wash ashore.. as shown in the pic.

This is too freaky-deeky. I actually had a nightmare about an encounter with one of these fish. It was very disturbing.
