Great Swallower Fish - Ugly, potentially disturbing image attached.

[Matt]

I had this emailed to me -- went for the source link offered here.

This bad boy is a "great swallower fish", and has apparently consumed a 34" Snake Mackerel. Web search shows this has been widely reported -- the link I offer is from the UK Daily Mail -- but I'm almost sure it is a hoax. I can't figure out how the fish could coil in that direction when being swallowed - plus, the swallower looks pickled (allegedly found dead, so that might account for it).

What do you think?
