It is a cornetfish usually caught with small soft plastic white lures.. We catch it a lot in the Mediterranean, it's new to our shores .. They usually feed on anything resembling a fish chasing the and literally sucking them into their straw resembling snouts

It's an extreme closeup of a cornetfish. It looks freaky, though. =) If you do a wikipedia search for cornetfish you can get a better description.

Nice Picture, Steve, with good effects.
