Holy Barnacles! This Sheepshead has barnacles growing on its face!!

Have you ever seen a sheepshead with barnacles growing on the outside of his gills? Check out this guy.

I wonder if other sheepshead try to eat the barnacles from its face?

How cool is this!

Fish probably begging to die lol
Barnacles on gills
Hook in mouth
Out of water 😂

[Justbereelflorida]

That fish could be on the Flying Dutchman with Davy Jones

Dude is literally suffocating and bro is so upbeat and jolly about it having barnacles

[PeterRanieriII]

I couldnt imagine the mental tournament of having my favorite food stuck on my face but being unable to eat it

Mum said, "Do not snort the barnicales."

[Alexaangel]

That poor fish! Ya caught him, left the hook in his mouth so he's bleeding, then ya show off those disgusting barnacles which are making him even more uncomfortable! HELP HIM!!

I heard barnacles are painful and they actually hurt the fish and animals they attach themselves to.

[jessejamez]

Bruh that fish got some bad ass luck 😭 first he got a barnacle damn near attached to his gills. Then gets caught by a fisherman 🎣 man lol

I caught a big ole breeder black drum maybe 45 lbs or so that had a gill plate full of barnacles. Only other time I’ve seen something like this, pretty incredible

The Barnacles are getting smart, it said let me grow on this sucka so no one can eat me.

[nastassiahicks]

Fish: tf are you going to help me or not?
😂😂😂😂😂

[farmgirl]

The phrase ‘you are what you eat’ rarely seems more appropriate

[Yobydobie]

How deep inside of his face to they go? Could you even remove them without injuring him?

[johnathansmith]

I know fish have teeth but everytime u see the human looking ones idk makes me feel strange 😂😂

[axcelzedd]

No I haven’t seen a fish with full set of human teeth before … thats weird.

[salteastsimon]

I saw a video where a man had a barnicle grow on his hand from free diving

[NittyGritty]

Did you release the sheepshead like that? Or did you bring it home to eat?

[ckw]

I've seen this twice on sheepshead!

[drjimb]

They sleep at night and don't move. So, the barnacles grow.
