Fun fact: Theyre fucking huge!

https://i.imgur.com/0G734zS.jpg

I was looking up info on them a couple months ago. I did a long time ago, as well. I like them because theyre weird. But I realized I never saw the size. Then saw that picture. It could like swallow a person whole probably...

Also, I knew the males fused with females during reproduction, but I think they were like super tiny because they are a very different size than the female. But they are like 3 inches. So, I guess thats like the size of a small regular fish...

Also, some videos...

https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=anDIlMVgNwk

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VqPMP9X-89o

And one more picture, I guess...

https://i.imgur.com/d7AA1Rp.jpg

Anyway, thats all. Just kind bored right now...

That's pretty cool. I'd always thought they were about football-sized, too.

So, looking this up, that appears to be bunk. They don't grow anywhere near that large.

Most are actually less than a foot and the largest being slightly bigger than 3ft which is uncommon. There are no 7ft long angler fish.

Nope. They aren't actually that big.

Female angler fish are bigger, but only reach a max of around 3.9 feet. The males can fit in the palm of your hand, and when it's time to mate he bites onto the females underbelly, melts into her flesh, and becomes a permanent sperm-sack for her. It's freaky shit. And yeah, he's still alive. His blood vessels fuse to hers and they just stay like that forever.

Nature is wild, man.

This topic is making me think of how time this guy was photographing humboldt squid (which, by the way, are the gangsters of the squid world) and was like "they're just squid, not sharks bro" or something. Fact is that everything in the ocean can kill you. The squids attacked. Nobody talks about it but the bite force of these things is strong enough to rip through chainmail. They broke the guys wrist in 7 places, I think. Then they latched onto his flippers and started pulling him down further into the water. They dragged him so deep that one of his ear-drums exploded.

Ocean is fucking hardcore.

I like the angler fish. So, I think it would be awesome it it were that large. It being terrifying is what makes it fun. Like how some people are terrified are roller coasters, but still have fun on them. Or like how people like being scared in a haunted house. Some people actually like scary stuff... People like different stuff. So, just because you don't think it would have been fun doesn't mean other people would feel the same.

Roller coasters aren't designed to lure you in then eat you. Same with haunted houses. I wouldn't consider swimming next to a 7ft angler fish as terrifyingly fun, just terrifying like being near a great white.

Yeah. But I won't be lured in by an angler fish. Not to mention, as it's been stated, it wouldn't be able to swallow me whole. Not to mention, I would be in some sort of underwater craft, anyway. So, again, it would be cool to see one. If it were that large, it would still be awesome to see. And being inside an underwater craft of some sort would still prevent it from swallowing me whole...

Given that you'd have died from the water pressure ~2000 feet ago, I don't think you'd be feeling much of anything by the time you found yourself "swimming" next to an anglerfish, regardless of its size.
