What is this?

[Sailfeesh]

Found this little guy floating among the chunks of ice on the Bodkin. Belly looks like a suction cup. Not sure what it is. I was thinking juvenile catfish, but he has no whiskers. Snakehead?
Any thoughts?

I don’t know, we don’t have those kinds of cooties here on the Eastern Shore!

Juvinile oyster toad?

Could be a Skilletfish:
