I agree that it could've been a cusk. Senter Cove Guy and I saw two good sized cusk on the speedboat wreck you pointed us to in early June. They, too, didn't scare easily, and hung around quite close while we explored the wreck for a good 30-40 minutes. They are deeper/colder fish, and get pretty big. The wide, flat head could be mistaken for a cat.
