mid shipman?

[bassturd]

I was on a 1/2 day boat out of long beach and I hooked a really wierd looking fish it looked like a prehistoric fish I have never seen anything like it. It had a lot of large teeth, a really bright gold pattern on it, it was about 10 inches long, spade shaped head ,and a slim body.The deckhand said it was a mid shipmen, what is that? has anyone ever seen one before? I wanted to know more about that kind of fish, he was let go. Thanks Tom
