A fisherman has said there is some "really weird stuff going on" after pulling up three large fish covered in strange bite marks.

Tony Walker, from TK Offshore Fishing, published videos showing the carcasses of a swordfish and marlin that had been chomped on by a mystery animal. The bite marks covering the swordfish were particularly unusual, being almost perfectly circular with "very clean edges."
 

Walker, from New Zealand, has been a fisherman for over 35 years. He was in the Coral Sea off the coast of Australia when he pulled the swordfish and marlin on board. In a video of the blue marlin posted to Facebook, Walker examined the carcass looking at its injuries and discussing what could have caused them.

"We've had some really weird stuff going on with predation on our fish," he said. "That's not a shark. That's not a shark bite. You can see it's sucked on the fin." Further down the body, Walker shows how the marlin has been scratched, with other "weird" injuries highlighted.
