NOT spotted bay bass. We catch tons of spotted bay bass around Lobos and they look just like the Mexfish picture. Do not have the redness this one has nor the same fins.

Close, but I think the number of dorsal fin's before the "flag" is wrong.https://mexfish.com/fish/fgcab/fgcab.htm

Thank you everyone for their input on this fish that I have never caught before and to me I'm going with pinefish and the largemouth blenny.
