Unknown fish caught in the Naragansett Bay

Thank you.....looks exactly like that picture of the Banded Rudder Fish. The one I had, however, had sharper points at the tail fin similar to that of a Blue Fish.

I forget the name of the post I did, but I didn't know what kind of fish I had caught a couple of on Cape Cod in mid-August. Someone identified the Banded Rudderfish and that's exactly what it was. Sharper tail like you suggested, too.

All kinds of amberjacks out there too.

this is another one I got last week, this one has a pointier tail. I've been seeing lots of them in the harbors. We also got some in about 20 feet of water while seabassin'. They seem to like structure, like docks and buoys. Anyone ever use them as bait????? Why not, right?
