Hey guys I caught this fish off my dock on the south end of lake Washington. I was hoping someone here could tell me what it is.

If you catch one that looks like it but has a small pea sized mouth, then it's a peamouth, = these are good so let it go alive.

What has been said.
They are quite bony but pickling or pressure cooking them basically 'melts' the bones and makes them edible. The flavor is decent. That said NONE are the recommended amount to eat out of lake Wa. Voracious preditors.
