Looks like a California Lizardfish but IDing a fish by a single top-down photo is difficult.

See last photo:

maybe a lizard fish

A friend caught it and he knows his Baja fish so I doubt it would be a lizard fish. Yes, the top shot is a problem for me too. The spots and head shape have me baffled.

Russ, in the top post on the Nomad Photo forum is the How to data. We don't use Photobucket anymore. Postimages.org is free, easy, and you only need to make one change to fit your photos on Nomad. Here is that post:

To post photos from your Pictures folder on your computer...

Go to www.Postimages.org, make an album if you want to organize your photos to find them easily in the future (by date or by subject). No cost to use Postimages.org.

Change the upload setting from "Do not resize my image" to 640x480 (recommended for forums) or 800x600 (max. on Nomad). You click on the little arrow to see the size choices.

Click "Choose images" and select the photos you want to put on Nomad from your Pictures folder.

Click on the image you want on Nomad and click on "Share" at the top of the screen.

Choose "Hotlinks for forums" (down next to the last one). You can click the little box at the right end of the link and it is now saved on your mouse.

Go to Nomad and paste that link onto the place where you are typing on Nomad. You can put text in below the photo for a caption or your post and if you double space between photo links (for clarity), you can put several photos and captions in a single post on Nomad. You can click "Preview" on Nomad to check and see how it will look before posting to the board.

If you need to fix a post after it is done, click on "Edit" along the edge of your post, and change or delete your post. If you edit more than once, you can delete the previous Edited on tags so only one edit tag will appear after you edit the post.

Thanks David
I looked at some images and the lizard fish has a close match from what I can see from the top shot.

Good job Russ.
Yes, free to us, Lencho.

Agreed, we don't know how long before things change.

I watched several videos on lizard fish - catch & cook and they all liked the flavor. Now that's a big shock! I'll try my next catch of the slimy pest.

I caught one this morning, threw it back like all the others I've caught. I haven't really caught one large enough to get much of a fillet off of. I was fishing with a friend once who caught one and stuck it on a hook with some weight and sent it down about 100' as live bait and came up with a 25# halibut.
