My cousin caught one at harbor park two weeks ago. Had no clue wtf it was til I googled it. Was told all recent storm activity brought them north. Mudpuppy is the funniest name too. We almost kept it thinking we found a new species. The fingers it has really had us laughing.

| Are they like unhooking a fish or do they have teeth and an attitude? Does look like awesome bait, though. |
