From Jeff June of the NW Straits Commission:

"Its a juvenile yelloweye rockfish. They don't get the distinct yellow eye until they mature. The juveniles have two light bands, one on the lateral line and a shorter one below. The juveniles have the black splotching on the fins, particularly the pectoral fins."
