Inshore Lizardfish. These fish are lie and wait ambush predators. I've kept a few in tank for short periods and they bury themselves and grab hold of fish with their very sharp teeth.
They aren't caught too frequently by most fisherman. This fish was caught in a bottom trawl off the tip of SH a few years ago.
The most obvious way to identify them is their "cigar shape" and pointed snout that seems to be part of a triangle shape. Size can be up to 18" but I've only seen them to about 10"
