ID help please

[SeaYoda]

This fish is about 8 inches long and lives around the rocks of the Destin Jetties in Florida. It resides in 50' of salt water and up. It looks like a relative of the Sand perch that lives here too. I don't have an ID book so this may be an easy one. Thanks.

Looks like one to me. We catch them fairly often while bottom fishing.

Thanks for the help. Now I'll know what to call them so I can get them to pose for pictures .
