Rockfish ID?

Came across this while googling some rockfish images. Anyone have any idea as to what this guy is? I'm thinking a juvi-bronzespotted.

We have over 60 species of rockfish in Cali waters. I don't have my fish ID book handy, but it looks a bit like a black gill. Except they're usually uniformly darker red with out the black markings. Also I think black gills are typically found in 100 fathom n deeper. Mike

Thanks Mike. I looked around some more. It kind of looks like a juvi-black gill. Maybe even a shortraker?

So that's where it went! I was wondering where my wife hid it.

I think it's called a woody rockfish.

It's not a bronzespotted AKA "warthog" which I have caught back in the days when it was legal to keep them and there were no depth restrictions. The most distinctive feature of the bronzespotted is the 4 or 5 darker bands that radiate from their eye. I would second the blackgill answer from taggermike.

It's called BAROTRAUMA. All rockfishes possess a closed swim bladder (a gas-filled organ that regulates buoyancy). When fish are brought up from depth, decreasing pressure allows the gas to expand which may cause injury and prevent the fish from returning to depth under its own power. Visible symptoms of gas expansion include a swollen and tight belly, stomach protruding past the gullet and into the mouth, and distended and/or "crystallized" eyes. Miraculously, many rockfish can recover from barotrauma if they are properly released to their respective depths as soon as possible.
