When I was younger I used to gather these small fish from under rocks in CT. They were always in the puddles under rocks in this stretch of shoreline. I had not seen any in a long time until I snagged one on a darter back in September. Again, the shoreline was very rocky. To best describe the fish would be to call it a juvenile wolf fish. I looked in my copy of Fishes of the Gulf of Maine, but could not positively ID it. It still looked most like a baby wolf fish. Most of the time when I was little, they were between 2" - 5". The one I "caught" this summer was about 4" long. Any thoughts?
