I went fishing yesterday and was off the coast of Cape Cod in Nantucket sound area. We were fishing for blues and I caught this fish and no one knows what it is, help.

Sorry about pic. quality its an iphone. The fish was a little over a foot long and weighted about a pound. It was pretty strong too.

No offense but where's the picture???

jdc · 9 June 2009, 12:29 AM

if it was a foot long and strong it could have been a plaything for fishermans friend ole"saltySally"'76

Yes. It wasn't easy removing the hook.

Can't really tell. Perhaps a gurnard ?

I caught this fish at the surface if that helps at all.

figbo · 9 June 2009, 02:34 AM

Bruno,that fish is called a sea-robin,it has wings and also has legs,it is edible,but not so good,I've tried them in New Jersey.
Also they are good for bait if fileted.

How did I catch one of those at the surface? I thought sea robbins were bottom dwelling fish only. I was using a surface lure to catch blues.

Sperry · 9 June 2009, 02:02 AM

I caught one years ago. My brother in law slit it's neck and threw it back.

What is it and where were you?

JimSnyder · 9 June 2009, 02:08 AM

I think Nathan is right, they also call them Sea Perch

diablojota · 9 June 2009, 03:06 AM

It was probably swimming near the top feeding, but yes the fish you caught is typically a bottom dweller.

Brunotheboxer · 9 June 2009, 03:25 AM

Thanks for the help.

Badfish179 · 9 June 2009, 07:30 AM

It is a Sea Robin.

They are also known as "Wall Bangers" that is if you visit the Pt. Pleasant area... Did you hear it grunt? They grunt quite loud and flap their wings, a rather disgusting fish if you ask me!

Wow Frank, you really know this fish as the grunting was freaking us out. It was the ugliest fish I ever did see.

I used to catch them all the time while fishing in the Great South Bay on my uncles boat... Since they skeeved me so bad when my uncle wasn't looking I would just clip the line and tie on a new rig. LoL If he saw me do that he would call me a sissy, I didn't want any part of those grunting fish!

LoL

I hear you bro.

I was tempted to do the same thing yesterday.

Taffi Abernathy · 9 June 2009, 10:04 AM

No, you guys have it all wrong - it's clearly a flying sardine.

kyle L · 9 June 2009, 10:53 AM

My guess would be sea robin.

Omega_Precision · 9 June 2009, 01:10 PM

To add to this.....
