Not my fish. From a PNW Facebook forum so probably caught in Washington or Oregon. I’ve got nothing. Ideas?

It looks like a black/black & yellow/greenling/vermillion hybrid.

Looks like a blue rockfish, and no idea whatsoever on the other one... :smt104

Edit:  My bad, black rockfish, not blue.

Too big and too far north for B&Y.

I'm leaning toward black and copper hybrid, but I don't know how readily blacks hybridize.  It could also be a gyotaku black from fukushima.

Yellowtail and Black RF.

This was the correct answer.  The fish on the left is a yellowtail rockfish and the one of the right is a black rockfish.
