Looks like a greenling
Pronounced in Spanish  ka·be·za de mar·t·yo
Translates to Hammerhead in English for my Gringo amigos.
....and yes that's me with a 6ft. green moray in the avatar.

I have seen these near-shore
They had little barbels or whiskers like that in your photo
We’re you fishing shallow?
I’ve got a few resources at work
I’ll check tomorrow

Lol, I guess that USAF radar on the hill is giving off some nasty radio waves.

I think it is a Red Brotula (what a fun name). Note the long, filamentous pelvic fins which are located near the throat.
Wanted to buy: Stealth ProFisha 575 or 525

Good call.  Definitely not a common catch.

Nice job releasing it.

Oh, are you that guy on the radio?  :smt003

On my phone it looked like one  :smt003

Funky looking tail is a dead giveaway that it is not a greenling  :smt009

I'm that guy that hits the buzzer before hearing the question  :smt005
