A lot of really good guesses! It is a poacher. Southern spearnose poacher to be exact.
Definitely in the Sculpin family. Cottidae Somewhere in this list. lol cmbc.ucsd.edu/wp-content/uploads/sites/399/2015/08/common_uncommon_fishes.pdf
Is that a Coastal Riffle Sculpin?
Possibly a Poacher (Agonidae)

Almost looks like a tiny sturgeon with the little barbels on the front.
DONT KNOW BUT I HAVE SOME BAITS THAT LOOK LIKE THAT
