WSB, Tomcod (queenfish), Corbina, Corvina, Yellowfin Croaker and Spotfin Croaker are all part of the croaker family and will make the croaking noise.

kelp fish, smelt, corbina

That last one's hard to tell due to the angle of the shot, but it looks like it could be a yellowfin croaker to me.

I din't pay attention if it croaked or not. Thanks again.

A yellowfin croaker has, well, yellow fins. It also has a barbel on the chin. A corbina is generally darker and longer and also has a barbel on the chin.

As steamroll said, it is a Tomcod or white croaker. They have little to no fight in them. And they do croak like the other croakers.

I like the smelt and kelpfish on the lure!
