'Bu, NY Eve. Fish ID?

[acorad]

Took the new kayak to kelp beds at Leo Carrillo on New Years Eve for a quick maiden fly fishing voyage, and got hit on my first cast:

Soon after, I got the guy below.

At first I thought he was a weird-patterned Calico, but now I'm not sure what he is.

Googling around didn't help with an ID, any ideas?
