What kind of perch is this??

Caught on a sabiki rig while jigging for bait in front of capitola pier...

Thanks!

Looks like a small Barred to me or a walleye surf perch.

Looks like about a 72 pointer.   

Silver Surfperch.

Exactly!! 

I checked the regs and there are only size limits on RedTail Surfperch from what I could see...

Drifting this little guy in front of the Pleasure Point kelp got me a nice looking ling all the way up to right under my yak...then he looked up, winked at me, let go and swam back down!!

It lookd like a walleye surfperch (Black tipped pelvic fins).  http://www.dfg.ca.gov/marine/mspcont2.asp

Classic live bait! Down in SoCal ( in my Pier fishing days) that would be a potential halibut or calico bass bait right there!

she be a walleye me thinks. tasty

Yeah from looking at the DFG link DryBones posted I am thinking Walleye as well...

Thanks guys!!
