Saw this
while surfing.
Some say the creature is freshwater somewhere in (mekong river) and was caught by american service men in 1968. Disputes articles say it must be from the deep sea ocean.
What would you name this one Steve ?
Locals claim it spit fires, there's a tour and people flock to see this phenomenon each year (The Full Moon of the eleventh Lunar Month). Some say its combustion of methane packed under the floor of the Mekong river not any animal spitting fire.
here's an article about it

Some say its an oar fish
Oarfish - Deep Sea Creatures on Sea and Sky
Giant Oarfish
but I like the fire spitting story better.
cheers.
