Can someone tell me what this is?

[Fantastic]

My cousin in Toronto was fishing with a friend a couple of days ago, and they found this thing dead in the river. I've never seen anything like it, and neither has anyone I know; just wondering if anyone on here knows what it could be. I believe they caught it in a river either flowing into or out of lake Ontario. Based on the inside of its mouth, I wouldn't want to be swimming anywhere near one of these things hahah.

Heres the pics:

I'm guessing lamprey eel. See marks on large fish in the great lakes.

thanks guys! I was hoping it was an alien parasite but that'll do.

Kind of looks like an alien parasite - if my wife ever caught one of those it'd likely be her last time fishing.

Hmm, something cool to know, that thing is definatly a Sea Lamprey, and not alien at all, in fact, older than the dinosaurs. These things have been around since the devonian era, over 400 million years ago.

Lamprey is correct.

Your joking, right?

I love burbot. They are ugly and extremely tasty. I will have to draw the line at a lamprey though....sense or not....I just have to.

No, I'm serious. Smoked lamprey is good.
