Its a Cunner or Bergal. You know those fish that keep steeling your bait with the big teeth ;D
I was sort of joking but there is a new pending IGFA record @ 3.5lbs So some times when I'm out on the reefs and striper fishing is slow I actually try for them ::) Supposedly good eating to ;D

Sean,

choggies are in the totaug family and are indeed great table fare. I have never eaten them because the ones I've caught were way too small to even bother to fillet. But the oldtimer salty I know says they are great to eat and he also said they are great in fish chowdah.
