Pictures of the unusual creature were posted to website Reddit this week and have attracted more than one million views, the New York Daily News reports.
New Jersey man Doug Cutler reportedly used a bow and arrow to spear the creature, which he spotted on a fishing trip.
Its identity is unknown, but a New York Department of Environmental Conservation spokeswoman told Outdoor magazine it appeared to be a sea lamprey, a parasite found in northern Atlantic waters.
The sea lamprey grows up to 1.2m in length and weighs up to 2.5kg, according to the MarineBio Conservation Society.
It attaches itself to host fish including herring, mackerel, salmon, trout and some sharks using a "sucker".
很可怕的!
看起來像一個怪物從恐怖電影...
