Atlantic moonfish (not to be confused with a Lookdown, which looks almost identical but has long fin streamers). Just like everything in the ocean, it tastes good and makes good bait LOL 🤣 Super weird shaped fish, very flat and shiny 🤔 Let the ballad of the salty dinks continue... 🎣 Galveston, TX May 2023
