No doubt in my mind, Gnomepunter is right. It is a blotched cusk eel. I've caught these before on the bottom with a tiny hook and dead shrimp usually fishing for bait. They generally live in deeper water but like everything else are seen in the shallows off the pier on occasion. They are bottom feeders as well.

Maybe I could just 'Google' that, huh? lol
Thanks for the quick ID guys!

David, unfortunately, I don't have Shipp's book (I gotta be careful admitting that, its probably a punishable offense for biologist on the Gulf coast not to have one).
I really like the Petersons Guide. I have Eastern Birds, Atlantic Coast Fishes, North American Freshwater Fishes, Insects, Eastern Trees and Eastern Reptiles & Amphibeans. I've had them for at least 20 years, Love them all.Grandpa Kirk and Pier#r like this.Carl

The guide that covers the Gulf is the Atlantic Coast Fishes Guide.

Well, after several hours making phone calls, I was able to track down a certain manufacturer’s service center in California. Thankfully, they agreed to send out my needed parts. These were left over...
You would think I would know this!
