Weird freshwater/saltwater fish?

In the last 5 years in Terrace, BC, Canada, people have started fishing off the small docks on Lakelse Lake. However, many fish for "Bullhead", a small fish. They have spikes on the bottom of their stomach. The fish itself is small, reaching around 10-20cm. However, I also find these "Bullheads" in salt water in the pacfic ocean, instead having spikes on their head instead of thier stomachs. The salt water "Bullheads" are larger reaching 40cm if lucky. These fish live near and under rocks and love flashers. "Bullheads" are edible and taste not bad when cooked with pepper on top. But there is one fact I need to know: what is their real name? The name "Bullhead" is mostly known by kids. So, what is thier REAL names?
