OK, what kind of fish is this?

Yes, it was delicious. The wife cooked them with onion\peppers in foil in a pan of water. Great fish and it probably was just legal (if you don't count the single long fin).

My back was pretty sore, took a relaxer, went to bed at 6pm, alarm woke me up at 5:50 this morning...

Genie, those "bass" you catch on the left coast are actually black rockfish, just like I used to catch in alaska.

The blue one's are the males. They are ALL born female and change to male at about 12". Then they get the blue color, the longer tail fin, and the Hump on their head. So whenever you get a humpback its a pretty good bet its legal size.

You cannot include the long tail in the measurement.

And they are absolutely the best eating fish out there. Pure white flesh.
