I think Larry's right. I had one of them bite through my boot as a kid on a herring/ whiting boat. Still have the scars from it LOL.They gave it to me to take home for supper.Figured since it tried to eat my foot I should return the favor. Ron

Looks kind of like my mother in law's.

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

Maybe wolf fish, but I'm thinking one of those South American(?) parribo ot something like that. They showed on one of the exotic fishing shows on TV.

These skull pictures are from confirmed real wolf fish skull, note how the jaw is integral to the rest of the skull.

I found a top/bottom set exactly like those a few years ago in the surf line down Herring Cove Beach. I asked around to a few guys I work with that dive and a few bait shops and they came back pretty certain that it was a wolf fish. Unofficial, but pretty sure. I haven't yet come across one myself but based on those teeth, if I do, I'd be pretty careful. Where are they mostly found, surf or further out?

I agree with cubera or tiger fish... Not sure... So many weird FW fish I'm not familiar with

Def not a wolffish though, they have big grinding teeth/molars to eat sea urchins... tough to see in the pic but they're there... check out the triple row of teeth at the front of the lower jaw as well

It was my dream fish too. Some of the most savage strikes I've ever seen. The thrill never goes away.
They tend to eat a lot of poppers. . . .

We like to go to Southern Baja, primarily La Paz and San Jose Del Cabo.
It's safe, inexpensive, and there's plenty of fish.

You'd have to learn how to cast a fly rod and tie retarded squirrel tail sized streamers for Taimen.

Poor man's lobster... so I have been told. Never tasted it.

Larry , Those are one of the best tasting fish out there. Once people found out how good well it didn't take long for them to have a large following. Don't know what the regs are but they do taste great. They live on lobster,crabs and clams. Ron

Ron,
As of this year they are off limits for us to keep. (said to be endangered)
Typically found in deep water (300 ft )
They got crusher jaws , reason they eat lobster, crabs & clams.
And you don't want any part of being near their mouths with a finger,hand ect .....
