Could the sculpin be the inspiration for Alien? Photo: A. Niggemyer
When I reported on a record-breaking catfish catch Tuesday. I couldn’t help noticing that it is one ugly fish.
Is it the most repulsive looking fish in the Great Lakes region?
It’s not like there aren’t other contenders. The muskie has a face only a mother could love. And the deepwater sculpin is just plain creepy.
So what’s the ugliest fish in the Great Lakes region? You tell us. Nominate a contender in the comments section below. One rule: The fish must be native to the Great Lakes region.
Yeah, we know there are a lot of ugly invasives out there. But we don’t need yet another arena where a native species loses out to one that wasn’t even invited.
