Rockfish ID?
http://i661.photobucket.com/albums/u...pstablmkzi.jpg
Came across this while googling some rockfish images. Anyone have any idea as to what this guy is? I'm thinking a juvi-bronzespotted. |
its dead.........that's what it is..........dead
sadly, that fish will never be able to tell his 'I ALMOST DIED' story |
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

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.
