    Looks like a chub to me. I have seen them around platforms way offshore, did not know they came in close like that. https://www.google.com/search?q=berm...w=1920&bih=920

    +1 Bermuda Chub
    I have seen them caught from the pier before (occasionally) and the end of the west jetty at Perdido Pass a bit more frequently.

    Definitely a Bermuda Chub. Caught one of those from the pier before. Not exactly the Best eating either.
