No one pair of arms could do justice to this 12 feet long oar fish landed at Sydney Harbor June 8, 1954 by amateur fisherman Keith McRae (left). He used a handline to land his catch, which, he said “at first I thought must be the original Sea Monster”. Australian Museum curator of fishes, G.P. Whitley, who identified the catch, said that oar fish sometimes reach a length of 40 feet. (Photo by AP Photo)
