Fish ID Help - What is it ???

Caught in about 100 ft off our coast... It was about a foot long. Any idea?
Definitely a member of the sea bass family (serranidae). My guess would be Bank Sea Bass. Found in Florida waters and has the same identifying characteristics as the fish in the picture.
Here is a link to a species description from FWC
