Figured it out. It's an "Oyster Toadfish" Opsanus tau. They eat oysters and other shell fish. The little F'er must have been in my crab pot feasting on my crabs!!!

Dyesub Dave.

He was cool looking and I actually did consider keeping him. But I don't have any tank set up or anything. And, he's from salt/brackish water. So it wouldn't have been just a matter of sticking him in a tank of water. So he's back in the bay eating oysters where he should be.
