Post WTF IS THIS?
Found two of these in my crawfish traps this morning. One made it inside, the other tried to go in though the wire mesh and died. Nothing left but bones and the head intact inside the cage. They have two short little arms.

Not an eel. It's a type of salamander. Still weird! ImageUploadedByTapatalk1367181094.398273.jpg

Broke a shaft on the longtail about 3 miles from a main canal in the basin a few years ago... Was walking it back to a main canal so I could get signal and have someone pull us in, and walked right past about 3 of them and damn near made my own canal with as fast as my feet were tramping

That thing looks like either the radiator off of a 55 chevrolet or somebody found the body parts of Clarence Thomas.

Lampreys have a circular mouth with small teeth. I catch them all the time. I always wanted to let one bite me to see if it will hurt or leave a hicky. Too skeer'd.
