Went to port aransas this weekend caught some peps and snails at the jetties.. I also caught this fish, i took a picture of it and let it go. Anyone know what type of fish this is. it was probably about a foot and a half. thanks

I grew up on the East Coast. We called them Oyster Crackers. Allegedly, they can crush small oysters. And yes, they are nasty.
