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.
