WHAT IS IT PLEASE

So i went shore fishing mon I was tired and didn't feel like going out on the yak, went to la jolla and fished a spot for about 5 hours threw every thing but my rods in the seaweed. Used squid, and small rock or foamers started getting hits, but STILL nothing!!!!! then as I was about to leave, I thot my dad told me old timers would spit on their hooks !!! WTF???? so I threw out a squid and spit on a baby crab........ and BAM !!!!!! iI hooked up fought for a little while and it was heavy brought it to shore and my 8 pd leader broke!!!!! I grabbed it not knowing what IT was. It weighed about 5lbs and had blue and brown I am going to say SPLOCHES???? and a weird BLUE mouth, tongue.skin and no scales, lots of SPINES...... BIG ONES. It was 20 inches long and I have pics. I cleaned it after slicing my finger. the fillets were nice ,,,but again had a blue tint????? can SOMEONE TELL ME what I caught?????? Thanxxxx ahead of time. HUGE SCULPIN?????? pics im still confused i sent the pics to my album

ya you dont see em that large down here to often but that was the average size from shore when i was living in Monterey fishing Pacific Grove down to Big Sur coast. The stringer of fish in my photos is of a 20 inch Cabbie that was about 4.5lbs. I figured id throw Cabbie out there that way if i was right he was actually in the regs and not taking a short Ling. Either way, only 2 fish i know of that can be blue like that so im guessing its one or the other.

I was thinking ling. Pick up a regs booklet at any sporting good store for free. Don't get caught up in killing a fish to find out what it is. Take a pic, let it go, ID it and then you know for next time. Or kill the last living leprachaun fish on earth, whatever

Ling cod or midshipman. (if a ling, it's undersized.)

Glad to hear it was a legal catch. Cabezon have to be at least 15 inches to keep. Like it has been said, get a reg book or go over it online. Especially with the rockfish as they can be difficult to differentiate between some of them. Nice fish either way.

A smart phone can also work for quick on the water lookups on regs on the DFG website. Although the book is better if you have it

Photobucket. If you dont have an account get one. makes it so much easier to just cut and paste the html code directly to your post.
