Mystery Fish Continues-Three Weeks Now

Enclosed are photographs of a fish that has eluded both identification and capture by myself and many others over the past few weeks. This includes evasion from our most successful local hunting group- the 6-8 year olders.

It is located in a small tidepool at the northern end of 3rd Beach in Middletown and the fish is not even an inch long.

I have submitted the photos to the North American Native Fish Association and hopefully someone there may have an idea.

In the photos, I have included both the regular shots and the blurrier close-ups.

Naturally any insights are most appreciated.

Banded drum perhaps?

Also two habitat shots.
