Not sure if you added the picture of the fish to your post?

[easyday]

Updated the pic didn't go in the first time

Cabazon or a sculpin I think

[ful-rac]

No doubt that's a sculpin.

make sure he's 10".

[Cadillyak]

Sculpin, a dark one at that

[easyday]

Well hes 14.5

[Deamon]

Very nice size! Also great eating. The spines are quite poisonous if poked by them. Always handle with extreme caution. Jim

[ccacher1]

Nice!

[taggermike]

Deffinately a sculpin and a nice one too. Thats a tasty fish. are you familiar with the sculpin "hair cut"? getting the spines off those things really helps safety wise. All dorsal spines, anal spines, and pelvic spines and thier arsenal is pretty much gone. the ones on the head hurt but aren't venomous. Mike

Hey man, nice meeting you today on the water. Enjoy those taco's!!!

[driftwood]

that's a typical bay fish. The scientific name is wormiest wormfest
bassturd fish. If cooked right they are delicious! :eating:

The fleshy flap over the eye would lead me to ID it as a Cabezon (mouth/throat is not always blue). If it is, you can verify it by noticing fewer spines than a sculpin (scorpionfish) and blue flesh. Cabezon is one of the best eating fish ever! But don't eat their eggs - they are toxic.

[alanw]

Cabezon is a member of the sculpin family, and a scorpionfish is really a sculpin, so I can't go wrong by guessing Sculpin :D


Actually I agree with Viking, Cabezon because of the flap over it's eye


BTW, Cabezon is 15" minimum

[easyday]

Deff was a sculpin haha found out the hard way......

[bad brady]

No flat fish today?

[easyday]
