looks like a juvenile gopher rockfish, but I could be wrong.

My guess would be juvenile copper or gopher RF.

What did it taste like ?

My money is on Olive RF.

Olive Rockfish, most likely.

Looks like it

On a side note, how is the smelt/chovies/Mack's bite inside Tomales?
Any luck picking anything up with the Sabiki?
