I dont have a picture but I did a quick sketch. I caught this fish down on the Oceanside pier, CA. It was about 10 inches long, and no one on the pier could identify it. It had pretty large teeth for its size, a long slender body with little fins, pectoral and dorsal, and its head was very oddly shaped. kind of flat and wide. Anyone know?
