Dana Point Species Id, Bluestriped chub - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Pretty sure it's a salema more than a grunt or chub, since it was in/near the kelp.

The one's I've seen diving/caught were more stripey than the mexfish pic stuck with pins, though.

I guess that could be it too although I agree there were more stripes than in the one pictured.

I've caught those night fishing at Catalina before. Always called them squirrel fish. Definitely more pronounced stripes when they're alive, almost a rainbow effect to the stripes.
