What is this bait fish and is it good for anything?

The fish is called Atlantic Bumper "Chloroscombrus chrysurus", known locally as Crazyfish and incorrectly as Moonfish to the east. They have 2 very sharp anal spines that you will often find when trying to remove them from sabikis. They are not a prefered bait but they are hardy as hell and many fish will jump on them if they are alive.
