Default ribbonfish?

Caught what I think was a ribbon fish on the fluke grounds today. Really cool looking fish with some very large teeth. On a gulp grub.

there is a fish called a ribbonfish, but its one of those weird looking very deep water critters..
As others stated previously you caught a Cutlass fish.. However, Cutlass fish are known as Ribbon Fish in Texas so you were correct too...

here's some info on your catch...
