Comments : Sailfin Sculpins are another of the many cool sculpins found
in Puget Sound. I usually find Sailfin Sculpins out on night dives and
have seen specimens ranging from 1 inch to about 10 inches long. I have
witness these fish waving their oversized dorsal fin to entice and
distract prey before pouncing.
