they dont have good pics linked to many of their species, and the public can upload. good site.

I'd call it foul hooked baitfish, then yell "diver down!"

Warning Anglers occasionally catch these fish, and usually have trouble removing the hook because the fish will attempt to bite. - eNature.com  http://www.enature.com/fieldguides/detail.asp?recNum=FI0062
