Fish ID help

I managed to snag this on a jerkbait in little lagoon.

What is it?

Lizard Fish

aren't they an exotic/invasive specie?

LOL, hardly!
The last time I fished Little Lagoon that was the most abundant fish we caught.

Lizard fish it is...

today i added a new fish to my list... Bermuda Chub. They fight good, reminds me of a bluegill. Too bad the food value is listed as "good fighter" :)

Yep, Bermuda Chub is on my 'no fry' list :p

Those lizard fish have pretty, white meat, but not much of it. Aggressive devils---I've had them bite lures bigger than they were.
