That's a cool fish. Where'd you catch it? Your location says Lincoln, NE. You didn't catch it in Lincoln did you?
I was on vacation last week visiting the Puget Sound area in Washington state, the fish is called a sculpin. The locals call them "bullheads", they are fairly common and will readily hit a curly tailed jig. The one pictured is 10" and is pretty good sized for a sculpin out there.
