rockfish id help

[sushieater]

I released this small rockfish from <50' of water off of Saturna/Tumbo last year. It's been bugging me that I still can't say for sure what species it was. It was a juvenile so probably makes it harder. I've gone through the dfo/washington websites and still not sure. Today I just got the island fisherman laminated rockfish identification card and that didn't solve anything but brought this thought up again.
