Can anyone indentify this fish? Caught it in Double Creek yesterday while fishing for fluke. Does not look native to the area.

Looks like a banded rudderfish, never caught one with that much yellow in it.

Yep Rudderfish, our grand kids get a kick out of catching them when out at Tices for over nights. They usually hang out under the boat at anchor.
