fisherman1055 Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Looks like a sea cucumber Was it latched on? Did it have mouth parts? Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Steve S Posted April 18, 2016 Report Share Posted April 18, 2016 Looks like a Leech, a big one Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rob Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 CEFAS: "From the top picture it looks like there is a sucker at each end which would most likely make it a species of leech, but this is not clear from the bottom picture which makes it look very different." Is that the same thing in both photos? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Reel Wizzard Posted April 19, 2016 Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 I have found lots of these on Ray's over the last few years and pull them off before returning the fish, in fact I found one today on a ray, I will try and post photos later.it left quite a mark when I pulled it off.

Overrun Posted April 19, 2016 Author Report Share Posted April 19, 2016 It's the same beastie in both pics, suckers at both ends. After prising off the Ray it became shorter and fatter Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
