· #1 Posted September 26, 2022 UFOs and weird fish. Anyone know what the hell this thing is (the fish, not SpaceX)? Washed up on the south side, relatively fresh. The body was massive, probably 60+ pounds by my armchair estimation. Also saw a huge stingray that was like 5 feet across. 1 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I think I agree on the cubera snapper. The body had a reddish tinge to it that you can't really see in the pic. I've never seen something like this washed up on the beach here—any Montauk regulars see one of these before? 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've never seen something like this washed up on the beach here—any Montauk regulars see one of these before? I know of one caught in the Fire Island area some years back. With the warm water we've had this past season, wouldn't surprise me to have one turn up out there. 0 Go to top Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
