Nope...that's a bergall (cunner).  It's in the wrasse family, and they are nothing but bait stealers.  Cut them up and use them for ling bait!

Bergall/cunner, cousin to the blackfish/tog.

Actually taste quite good but very boney so need fairly large ones.  Largest I ever caught was one about 16" out in Orient Pt. NY.
World record is a few pounds.

They'll be next to have limits on them with the way regulations are going.
