What kind of fish is this?

Does anyone know for sure what kind of fish this is? It was caught near Solomon's Island last week. If you can't tell by the picture, the little fin on top of its head is blue.

Send this picture to DNR. They will know what species this is.

I did a Google image search, didn't find a match.

Looks like a Spotted Hake.

Did it have tentacle-like things under its chin?

Spotted hake. Nearly positive.
