Giant Fish of Florida 



LEATHER JACKET (Monacanthus hispidus) 



These leather jackets are found in most tropical seas, and 

 with their large sheeplike teeth they seize any bait left 

 stationary at the bottom. They are without true scales, the 

 body being covered with roughnesses instead. They are thin, 

 tough fish, and of no use for food.
