Opah is a fish but it's also ...... - JapanRon - 05-18-2005
Hey there guys,
Opah (ocean sunfish) is the name of a large comical looking fish. Although not very nice..... deckhands will sometimes refer to an angler that is obivilous to everyone else but is a kind of a know it all as Opahs.

Oh JapanRon are you blushing yet? The Ocean Sunfish ia called a Mola Mola and they are the comical looking one. The Opah is also called Glacefish, and while strangly shaped for a Meso-pelagic fish, is really quite striking. Like a giant vibrantly colored sea Bluegill...
OPAH...[cool]

And here's your Mola Mola....In my opinion they are both similar in their own ways, and are both HILLARIOUS looking....
