American Angler

Enormous, flat, frog-like head with a huge mouth lined with sharp inward-curving teeth. Brown and mottled for camouflage. Adults reach 2–4 feet and 10–50 lbs — larger individuals occasionally taken commercially.\n\n

Best Baits: Squid, cut fish, whole small fish.\n\n

Occasionally taken on bottom rigs targeting flounder or cod. Not a primary sport target but the tail meat is excellent — commercially marketed as "monkfish" and prized in European cuisine.
