Kind of a mutant rock cod, isn't it? How do they taste?

The look very similar to a plecostomus which is a type of catfish. But they are usually found in warmer waters and they're something you would buy at a tropical fish store.

It looks to be a juvenile Ling Cod.
Here is a picture for comparison: http://images.search.yahoo.com/search/images/view?back=http%3A%2F%2Fimages.search.yahoo.com%2Fsearch%2Fimages%3Fei%3DUTF-8%26p%3Dling%2Bcod%26fr%3Dush-ans%26b%3D21&w=725&h=544&imgurl=www.followingsea.net%2Ffishing%2520journal%2F2002%2520fishing%2520album%2FBOCAsFishingJournal%2Fimages%2FNo%2520Slack%2520Ling.jpg&rurl=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.followingsea.net%2Ffishing%2520journal%2F2002%2520fishing%2520album%2FBOCAsFishingJournal%2FNo%2520Slack%2520Ling.html&size=113.5kB&name=No+Slack+Ling.jpg&p=ling+cod&type=jpeg&no=32&tt=6,928&oid=6898de8c768e0d06&ei=UTF-8 |

Sculpin. They come from less than an inch long to most likely huge, if the body of water they're in supports them. They are an important Trout food in most clearwater streams. This is what Muddler Minnow flies imitate.
