I just got the DFG fish id book in the mail yesterday.
Looks like a copper rockfish to me, and a very young one. Can grow to 26+ in. Where did you catch it? Looks like a pier. |

Kelp bass has a slight forked tail fin compared to this one. Also, the anal fin is different, and the markings around the eye. The illustrations in the ID book are very good.
You can buy prints from the illustrator: http://www.abachar.com/ |
