What fish is this?

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: Magothy River

This was caught a couple weeks ago in the Magothy River near Dobbins Island. I thought at first it was an eel, because it was that flexible when it swam. But it's mouth are fish-like.

DNR Response: You caught an Atlantic needlefish, needlefish occupy bay waters seasonally.
