almost looks like a cunner. Did it have teeth, cause I've run into schools of those things in Gloucester around the rocks and they will strip bait off hooks in seconds!

Tough to tell from the photo, but looks like a really red cunner

I have seen a lot of cunners and I never saw one so red...they are normally brown. Also it looks too big for a cunner. Most of them are smaller, at least the ones I have seen.

maybe gorged on krill.

Flamingos are pale white. But their diet makes them that burnt orange/pink color.

We always called em' choggies, and if that is one...I've definitely seen them that big...not so red, but not far from it. Actually, the larger ones I've seen were actually lighter than normal...but every other attribute tells me choggie. Not for nothing but, they are truly a delicacy, gutted, scaled and pan fried? yum, yum, yum....undressing does suck though

...it finally happened, there are no more secret spots

I'll second that I.D. We've caught them close to three times that size on the west grounds, during the fall. And twice as big are common out on Cox's.

I caught one off Thatcher's once that was an easy pound and a half. It wasn't that red, though.
