A cabezon has a big head and a mottled red, brown or green coat that blends into the rocks, like a defender who never leaves the line. Cabezon live all the way from Alaska to Mexico, where the Estadio Azteca hosted two World Cup finals.
On Futbol Island the cabezon can be caught at:
- North Point: A rocky point on the island’s north-west corner, past the DRIP FC Stadium’s north stand. Cold, clear water swirls round the rocks, where big-headed cabezon and long-lived rockfish hide.
Size on the island: 30–99 cm.
