A couple of spotties, a few lizard fish, mantis shrimp, and .....? Best pic I had, try to notice the lateral fin goes all the way around its tail fin. I caught it using one of the lizards my buddy caught on my hali rig.

looks like a slimy midshipman. hard to confirm from the angle.

Plain Fin Midshipmen. Cool in a really ugly and creepy way. Mike

That looks like a Manta Shrimp. if so be cautious around their front mandibles they pack a punch.
I ate one in Thailand and it was delicious.
