Fish louse
Photographer: David Maitland
Spotted a dead long nose gar (I think?) floating in the river so of course I heaved it out with a cast net, much to my sister's disgust. Look at those teeth! Also had some sort of crustacean parasite latched on its fins, very neat. This fish was as long as my legs!
