Default School of fish- Pensacola Beach

I stayed out at the beach all weekend for DeLuna Fest and didnt bring any fishing gear (worst idea ever)...anyways I was walking the pier and a massive school of ______ swam under the pier. It was awesome because the school looked thick and neverending. I couldnt tell what type of fish it was so I used my phone and attempted to get some video. I want to apologize for the poor quality...

What type of fish is this??
...I am assuming redfish, but have no idea.

Thanks for the ID help! I am glad it was mullet not redfish! I would of been even more upset that I didnt bring a rod/reel. It was a great sight to see! I plan on getting back out fishing soon.
