The great angler is actually a common name for any of the more than 250 related saltwater fishes found along the coasts of North America and Europe, right from the British Isles and Nova Scotia to Barbados. It lives on the ocean floor, moving furtively along its modified pectoral fins in search of food. The big mouth and distensible stomach of the great angler makes it possible for it to swallow other fish as big as itself. Charley Soares’ mission in life is dedicated to everything related to recreational fishing, including its promotion among the population and particularly the majestic anglerfish that roams in the Atlantic.
