What is this thing Identified, high confidence

Caught bottom fishing in about 50 foot of water. It looks like a big sculpin, but I don’t think sculpins get that big

Agreed some kind of rockfish/stonefish/sculpin. IIRC they are all venomous and have some nasty spines on their backs.

Looks to me it’s probably a male cabezon, a type of sculpin.
