It was in one of my traps yesterday. It's about 12 inches long. I still have it in a bucket on my back porch.  
 1 3/4 acre, 1/2 acre, and 1/10 acre ponds in NE Smith County, East Texas.

Too small to be a water dog. Some sort of salamander?
It's not about the fish. It's about the pond. Take care of the pond and the fish will be fine. PB subscriber since before it was in color.

That looks like an aquatic salamader... simular to a mudpuppy ~ it has lungs... I know I know what it is and have seen it before, but it is escaping my mind...

I think it'd make good LMB bait, but personally, I'd put it back where I found it.

Sirens are a type of Mermaid, right? My daughters are going to love the fact that the "snog" (snake + frog, that's what they named it) on the back porch is actually a mermaid.
