Can Anyone Identify This Fish That Came Up In Tony Gross’ Lobster Trap?

Joe,
It is a Boar Fish, a gut from the DMF helped ID it. Here is a couple of links with more info. Enjoy the parade and the rest of the holiday.

My son who manages a pet store specializing in salt water fish agrees about boar fish although the picture in his book shows a fish identical in shape but pretty much all pinkish orange. He says differences in coloration are common.
