Sculpin ID Help

Post by Magoi »

I shot just one picture of this unusually colorful sculpin at God's Pocket in November. I went through Greg Jensen's sculpin book, and I think it is a Smoothhead, but am not sure. Can someone ID it? It was about 4-5 inches long.

Thanks Greg. Really appreciate your input. And thank you, Jess - I liked the fish, wish I had shot more than one of him.
