Can’t find a match for this one. Caught at the jetties.

By the way, caught the endangered Black Sea Bass on every cast. Just a matter if you set the hook. This was the only other fish caught. Caught BSB’s until our arms were tired. Took a break and moved on for some variety and a chance for dinner!
Something in the porgy family, looks alot like a pinfish of sorts
Bragging may not bring happiness,
but no man having caught a large fish,
goes home through the alley.

Thanks all! My field guide doesn’t show the dark vertical bands but a quick search for pigfish on the net shows plenty with those markings. Can always count on cf.com!
