DOH.....

went out again today and lost the biggest shore fish in my life i think. it hit like a mack truck and peeled a lot of line off. then he decided he didn't want to play and straightened the hooks on my lucky craft and went home to his famliy. i did managed this though. i thought it was a sculpin but it was brown, maroon instead of orange. can anyone identify this fish?

looks like a Rock fish to me.

I think you're right about the I.D. Looks like a Sculpin and definetely NOT a cabbby. Just hard to tell from the mud, good job on the fish anyways :thumb:

Hey... try these websites for fish ID:

Also, you can resize your pics at this site (you don't have to join or register)

500X500 or thereabouts works good...

Again, thx for the report and pics.

it looks like a sculpin to me. sculpin range in color ive cought them in different shades of brown to red. i remember reading something about the color being different depending on how far off shore they are. the closer to shore the more brown. or something anyway, thanks for the report!
