Yea, looks like a kingfish. They're good eating. Check for a barbel under the chin and a tall first fin. The scale pattern changes some depending on the bottom that the fish are holding over, so it's easier to identify them by body profile than by coloration.

Great to eat and save the heads for shark bait from the surf.
