This was caught in the Lester River, below the barrier falls in the Lester River in Duluth, MN. I was actually angling for longnose suckers when I caught this one.

I think this is a mottled sculpin, Cottus bairdi, but I have no experience with this family and am hoping someone more knowledgeable can give an opinion.

I would say that it's probably a Mottled Sculpin. The range of the species is correct for that location, and it appears that the 2 dorsal fins are joined. A Slimy Sculpin is the other possiblility, but its dorsal fins are separate. Nice catch!
