What Type of Fish?

My son caught this last weekend and we have no idea what it is. Had a sucker mouth and pretty cool stripes on it.

Conservatism is not about leaving people behind. Conservatism is about empowering people to catch up, to give them tools at their disposal that make it possible for them to access all the hope, all the promise, all the opportunity that America offers. - Marco Rubio

The charm of fishing is that it is the pursuit of what is elusive but attainable, a perpetual series of occasions for hope. ~John Buchan

The head up this way in the deep summer. Fished hard down south, they call them king croakers or something. I've never seen one north of the canal, but caught them on Nantucket as a kid.

They're in the croaker family. Think redfish, with the underslung mouth.

They call them whiting down south. What we call whiting are silver hake.
