I believe the name is derived from the fins being "Pin Sharp".

I don't know who named them, but after eating a few pinfish when I was
stationed in FL, I know why they are called pinfish... They have more bones
that a danged archeologist LOL. And especially the little "pin bones" that will
lodge in your throat and make everybody around you think you are trying to
choke yourself when you grasp your throat with your hands trying to "hock" up
that little bone LOL.,..... Chuckles

Queztion: Why doesn't a pinfish look like a needle fish?
Aren't they *hic...* pretty much the same?
Who named them? What's the point? *hic...*
Should we start a thread in the needle-fish?
IMW2K...but will forget anyhow...

When I fish in Florida, one of the things I enjoy to pass the time
between trips out is going down to a dock on a sandy beach or by an overpass
and catching pinfish via sightfishing.
