Extremely Rare Tropical Fish Caught Off Maryland

http://www.foxnews.com/great-outdoors/2017/11/14/extremely-rare-fish-caught-by-sport-fishermen-in-ocean-city.html?intcmp=ob_article_sidebar_video&intcmp=obnetwork

"The only reason I knew it was an opah is because I follow some friends out on the West Coast and some friends in Hawaii on the big island over there that catch them periodically, and I have seen them in Instagram posts and things like that, and then I saw him come up and I said it's an opah," said Ensor.

Added By Fox:

"The opah Ensor and his friends caught might be one of the only ones ever caught in Ocean City by a non-commercial fishing boat. It remains unclear why the opah would be in such cold waters in Maryland."

Unclear????...Idiots!!

If the poor thing found the waters off Maryland cold, just imagine rounding Cape Horn.
