Whatever it is, it's uglier than a wildebeest.

Nastier Looking than the Japanese Double Ugly Fish we used to Catch in Adak and Uglier than the Dog Fish My Son would Catch in Bremerton.

This looks like the whale version of a goblin shark almost.

Thanks for sharing SSG(P) (Join to see)
I think the British ichthyologist Ben Frable who tagged it as Aplatophis chauliodus AKA fangtooth snake eel is probably correct.
here is an image

SSG(P) (Join to see) - I am trying to indicate the correct size of this sea creature which dwells at the bottom. If you do a search you will see other data and images.
1. Bottom dwellers tend to live under a lot of pressure.
2. If those creatures come to the surface expect they would expand in width not in length.
3. I read through the more creditable material on this creature and British ichthyologist Ben Frable has the most reasonable answer. Granted the observed creatures are no longer that 0.83 meters.
4. I expect the correct answer will be in the snake eel family.
