I think it’s a starry flounder with that textured skin. Every halibut I’ve ever handled is smooth, starry flounder have those pox-like bumps on em.

Look more like an enligh sole than anything to me

100 percent a starry flounder , rough studded sandpaper like skin is a dead giveaway

 

[WHO DAT]

Apart from texture the tail is the go to identifier for us , (unfortunately missing Rock sole? something in the pic to gage size helps. Best Regards
