Looking for help in varifing this particular species of fish. Caught and released in R.I. midday on Monday while Stripper fishing. Beautiful fish, thought maybe it was a small Cod or Haddock.

That would be a cod :claps:

Cod;
Beach or Boat?
Been rumored a few small cod on the inshore grounds....
intersting...
Size??

Caught the fish on a wreck, about 3/4 mile offshore in around 55 feet of water. (Sorry, I know this isn't the boat forum.) Length was approximately 18-20". Just out of curiosity, is there a size limit on Cod in RI waters?

Yup, check ri dem I forget the length, havent seen one inshore in a few years, and I know that spot :D

my son got a 12 inch cod :btu: off the beach in south county on a tin last month..... good sign.....

20" min. length, no bag limit

I haven't caught a cod in RI since 1996 or 7.

Good work, man.

TOM COD // inshore fish . as everything else /there use to be alot of them // you would catch them in the spring mixed in when winer flat fishing ../{Remember that]] also the fall /they were usually later & you would actually target them // I remember fishing in the winter with snow all over the place & the hot spots /usually a bridge /full of people after these fish .... MEMORIES :smokin:

That picture brings back memories of my lobstering days.

The little ones used to get their heads stuck in the pots.. :exp:

That would be a cod :claps:
