Paulpro,
The opah fish was well over 100 pounds. I never saw it's teeth but I doubt they are like what you are referring to, which I have seen in pics. Those are really wild looking! Opah are carnivorous. I have a friend in Hawaii that is a captain and he has caught one deep dropping at like 800-1200 ft so that is why the [url "http://bluewaterjon.blogspot.com/2010/09/bizarre-opah-fish-washes-ashore-in-san.html"]opah washing up on the shore story[/url] is so wild- the how and where of the story is so bizarre. Even more bizarre- at least to me, is that a friend of mine found it. If he hadn't shown it to me noone would have realized it was an opah, because as you can see in the story they thought it was a sunfish, which are very common in San Diego.
You can get a feel of the size with this pic:
