I'm on my honeymoon on Tahiti and have been trying to catch something for the last 10 days. Today it happened and I caught this.

Once I hooked it my adrenaline levels were so high I could have lived without a heart for 15 minutes. I quickly took a few pictures before trying to get my pliers to remove the hook and it unhooked itself. I immediately let it back into the water because I thought those 30 seconds were already going to kill it. I may look calm in the picture but I'm actually panicking.

Anyone have an idea what it is? Either a crocodile needlefish or a cornetfish, but I swear the whole length of it's snout opened. I might be imagining things, though.

Also no mental preparation in the past days could have prepared me for that slimy yet firm grip.

Worth the risk to my immortal soul?

I’m very much a novice, and I can only assume my familiar managed to get into my transmutation potions without my knowledge. The transformation only seems to have taken part-way. How can I reserve this or is he stuck like this?

Unsolved mysteries: I hike past this tree regularly, and in spring and fall, a mysterious hot spot shows up on my thermal scope. By midsummer, it disappears. Portal to another dimension? Something living beneath the bark? I’ve tapped on the tree, but nobody’s come out to answer.

Thanks to my hot wife for providing both scale and a heat comparison. If this keeps up, I may have to call Geraldo to crack the vault. What do you think is in there? Oak Creek, WI 📷: Aaron Johnson
