Isn't it just a little skate? Raja erinacea
It's a male as evident by those long honking clapsers.

I know the ironic thing is that they are called "little" skates

They must be the porn stars of the skate world.

i caught a really weird one in a lobster pot a few weeks ago. it was smaller, black, and its nose was extra pointy.

live to fish. fish to live. rod tips high.
