This little fish was caught at the Indialantic Beach in Melbourne Florida. It was really a cool looking fish, just have no idea what it is!

I was wrong about the Sculpin. They are mostly pacific fish. Might be a grouper but the thin fins in the front are usually used for sitting on the ocean floor.

Thanks Jellis! I don't know many fish...someone at the beach said maybe a baby grouper or some kind but ??? Thanks for your help!!

Can't seem to find it. I was thinking some type of sculpin or rockfish.
