Can anyone ID this fish?

Caught the little bugger out at the port, he wasn't much bigger than the jumbo minnows I was using on the other line 

That's a really bad angle to identify a fish from, but my guess would be that it's a blenny of some sort, probably one of the many small species of kelpfish in the area.  Kelpfish tend to have a small mouth, pointy head and a long body.  If I could see the dorsal and anal fins I could be certain.

That makes more sense. 

  googled it and yup!!!! Another invasive species! Did it take a worm? I'd like to catch one too!!! Looks like great striper bait!!!

It took a jig hook through the tail LOL (and yeah I threw it in my live bait bucket and didn't get a chance to use it, but I was thinking that too!)

cute.  I am a darter fan and think that log perch are attractive little fishes.  Where I grew up (Missouri) there are lots of brightly colored little darters in the rivers, I miss that.  I think I'll go to the port with a minnow trap and try to get some for my pond
