Name that Fish: A head with fins
July 27, 2007
Okay all you Name that Fish junkies, see if you can get this one:
He’s a bottom-loving inhabitant of cold northern Pacific waters (Monterey to Alaska) and is quite fond of crabs, shrimp and smaller fish…for dining purposes, that is.
I cannot, however, comment on his social life.
This dude will hang out in near-shore waters and can be found all the way out to several hundred feet.
Oh yea, by the way, that’s a 16-ounce Godzilla Jig in its mouth, just so you have a reference point.
Any guesses?
Looks like a funky ling to me
Yea, I know what you mean but…Survey Said……..X
Keep guessing!
skulpin
Sculpin…good guess, but nope.
cabezon

Camera Trick…I say Scorpion Fish or “Bullshead” The Jig is Up high and trailer in the fishes mouth…Survey Says????
Actually, no camera trick. The damn thing was about 12 pounds. Okay, everybody give up yet???
