Great Sculpin
Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus

Myoxocephalus polyacanthocephalus

These fellows are large and quite imposing. We measured one at 54 cm. They're all mouth and stomach; if you accidentally got your finger its mouth, you had to do a bit of wrestling to get loose. They hum/vibrate when stressed.
