I believe its a Lagocephalus Sceleratus

a poisonous puffer fish from Asia.

Have to admit I thought that was pretty amassing, while at the same time I wonder what gave the angler the idea to do it in the first place. Would have been even funnier if that fish said screw this, and bit the end of of the anglers finger off. Kill it or release it, don't play silly games with it.

Not sure what kind of fish it is, but I sure wouldn't have that close to my "family jewels"!
