Default Name this fish

This fish was caught in Sarasota Bay. This is located on the Gulf of Mexico
south of Tampa Florida.
The picture appeared in the newspaper this morning and it does not look like
a fish that is found here.
Several years ago, I saw one similar caught a little further south. At that
time nobody in the area knew what it was.
There is nothing like in the various local guide books.
The most unusual characteristic is the lips.

We get all sorts of stragglers here of all kinds: fish, fowl, reptile,
insect and human.
