Pardon my ignorance - but what is this? I caught it at Ennereilly. It's about 4 inches. I thought it was a whiting originally, but it's too broad. Not a pollack either. It has a back three-spined dorsal fin and look at that hooked mouth...

Any ideas?

Looks like a Lesser Weaver to me. If so, read the warnings in the Boat Angling Reports section

he should be happy enough now swimming around off ennereilly again. btw, that's the second one of these things I've caught down there, so take care....

definitely a lesser weaver... there seems to be an increase in catches of them lately with the milder weather..

handle with extreme care or someone else's hands

yes its a weaver be very careful with them use pliers or something to remove hook as if you get stung you will be very sore for some time.
