I hardly ever bottom fish but we did last week because trolling was slow...Does anyone know what kind of fish this is? Thanks in advance.

Looks kinda like a misty but the stripes are awful light, Maybe because it's a juvi.
Gray to dark brown with 8-9 diagonal blackish bands.
Interesting fish.

Make something idiot proof and they build a better idiot.
That's the only thing I could find that looks close, but since I've never seen/caught a misty, I wanted to get a definitive answer.
Looks like a little baby striped grouper to me. Might even be a very young goliath groupre.
its a juvenile misty. here's the link
