Good day for firsts

Did my first beach launch and landing today from CDM.
The waves were ankle high going out and waist high coming in. Waist high that is when your sitting in the kayak. Did get sideways a little on the landing but managed to pull it out.
Went out to the deep water outside of Newport harbor looking for rockfish. Didn't have a fish finder so went out about 3/4 a mile. I dropped my first line just as a crabber went by pulling up his cages so I knew I had found some rocks. Dropped down squid and mackerel. The first fish came up on the mackerel... a mackerel.
The next one hit the squid. It was a good size sheepshead, my first sheep head and my first decent fish while rockfishing.
Had a pretty constant nibble the whole morning. Managed a unidentified fish (another first) and another mackerel. Had something else too which was big but only got it half way up.

Can anyone identify the smaller fish? It was unusual because it had skin like a shark. Smooth one way and sandpaper the other.
