Need help with fish ID...
These two ruffians were spotted somewhere in Newport fighting over a mysterious fish.

lil blue, would be my guess, then I'd hook it through the eyes and see what else I can identify.

I dunno guys, John, Mike and I looked real hard at it, it didn't look like a little snapper blue. The coloration wasn't what you would expect.
Fishsmith - the guys who caught it were netting bait for a fluke trip the next day.  |

It's either the smallest snapper blue I've ever seen (didja check for toofahs?) or a baby jack. Goggle-eyed scad, JJ, you might be right.
Blues and jacks are cousins, or so I've heard.
