I have never seen a fish like this and the authorities here are also confused about what this is... Can anyone here identify this weird fish?

Looks like my mother in law before she has a coffee in the morning .
lucky you, my M.I.L looks like that before AND after coffee
Not a Tigerfish, they don't have teeth on their tongue. Looks more like a buck salmon.
Could be a sub specie of the goblin shark.
Where did you find it?
Did you get full pic not just of its head like the whole thing with tail?
Post full picture
It sort of looks like me after a big night on the piss
Looks to me like an eel. The teeth are too small and too numerous to be a tigerfish. At first I thought it may be something like a mackerel, but after a close up the teeth are conical not bladed, so it's not a pelagic, more like demersal. Ambush species that grabs it's prey and holds on to it. The small pectoral fins also point towards eel. A look at the tail might confirm it.
This is a spent Chinook, you can clearly see the teeth on it's tongue. I've caught buck Rainbows similar. Be interesting to find out where it came from.
You could be right Smicko, this. according to the source is a trout. (Same species).
Yep, you'll only make the mistake of going the thumb grip on a big buck trout once.
