...had me stumped a couple years ago. The crew on here said it was a "beardie"...I'm sure there's a more formal name, "barbel" or something...

You can have your batmobile/mini/James Bond Aston Martin...even Chitty Chitty Bang Bang ffs...the Griswold's Wagon Queen Family Truckster, complete with greenwalls, graffiti, missing wheel covers, dog lead tied to the rear bumper and dead aunt on the roof is the greatest movie car EVER!

 

Rusty: "Wow Dad, you must've jumped it fifty yards!"

 

Clark: " Now Russ, that's nothing to be proud of."

 

(a few minutes later, away from Rusty)...Clark: "FIFTY YARDS...."

Beardie

Hard to be sure from the blur, but it looks like a Beardie Lotella rhacina.  I think I can make out some white edges to the fins, especially the tail.  The Bearded Cod Pseudophycis barbatus is very similar but, among other things, has no white.

I've been here all along.  I've answered quite a few IDs in the past month.  I check in every day and have a read through
