I can't decide which species this 12" fish caught and released in Florida Bay is. Hardhead or Gaftopsal?

aka Gafftopsail for sure.

Do you have a pic of the hardhead? I catch them a lot and keep forgetting to photograph them and still don't know what scientifically this catfish is.

Thanks much, HH! So good to know what they are and be able to tell others - people, mostly tourists ask all the time what they are, how big they grow, etc.
