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.

jdc · 9 June 2009, 12:29 AM

Yes. It wasn't easy removing the hook.

Xenophon · 9 June 2009, 01:52 AM

Can't really tell. Perhaps a gurnard ?

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

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.

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!

Taffi Abernathy · 9 June 2009, 10:04 AM

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

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

kyle L · 9 June 2009, 10:53 AM

My guess would be sea robin.

No shame in doing it!

The worst part about them is they actually give a little fight at first and lead you to believe that you have something else on the line because of their resistance in the water........
