I consulted with my FL Marine Research friends and rcv'd this reply
I think the fish is a driftfish, Psenes sp., Family Nomeidae. I can not assign it with confidence to species level because the picture does not provide sufficient information.

Ginger...."Found one species listed in a NOAA document, Psenes cyanophrys * freckled driftfish, that frequents that Sargasso sea and currents off the eastern Atlantic coast. http://www.aoml.noaa.gov/general/lib/seagrass.html"; no picture of fish, just the story.
Previous question................
Hello,
Small mystery fish, see link.
There is a long debate going on over the identification of a mystery fish on the florida sportsman forums. It was caught off of Martha's Vineyard. To me it looks like a cross between a bass and a pompano (which I know doesn't exist).
Anybody have any ideas? Here's the link:
