Silver-cheeked toadfish

First time catching a toadfish. Was wondering why my line keeps coming back with hooks missing. this dude kept stealing the bait.

Shore fishing and did not expect to get this puffer! #Catch22

Thanks to Suez Channel, we have now additional species of fugu, terrible poisonous fish. Despite sir David Attenborough beloved this fish because of a net he is building on sand, on a bottom of a sea, I dropped it on a coast, far from a waters. Reasons: it is invasive; it has not enemies except fishermen; it eats everything and doing so is downgrading feeding of native populaton of fish species; and last not least - if crabs or some other species will consume it, them became poisonous too.

Good fighter
