They`re gonna need a bigger boat: Rarely-seen 14-foot, 800lb deep-sea `dinosaur` skate caught off Florida coast.

The 800-pound Dactylobatus clarkii, a deep sea species also called ‘hookskate’ or ‘fingerskate’, was so old it had barnacles on it.

Florida fisherman, Captain Mark Quartiano, caught it off the coast of Miami Beach.

He says the rarely-seen monster, which is the same family as the stingray, was like `a dinosaur`
