Hooked! :( This Orange-Lined Triggerfish - Balistapus undulatus escaped death but unfortunately, the fishing hook is stuck to its mouth. It is unfortunate because Sipadan Island is a very remote and protected island whereby, fishing is totally not allowed, this goes to show someone has been fishing at the protected island! :( Balistapus undulatus,Fish,Malaysia,Orange-lined Triggerfish,Sabah,Sipadan,Triggerfish Click/tap to enlarge Country intro
