What the heck is this thing?
Sunday evening I hooked this on a jig in the Haystacks area. It was about 5-6" long and a little aggressive. I was careful not to touch it, and a good thing because a friend who works at the PKS aquarium told me it has razors up front.

It's called a mantis shrimp; and they are more common than anyone knew.
He went well with some red cocktail sauce, although our tongues felt kinda fuzzy for a few hours, and we dreamt us some tumultuous dreams that night! Davis is on his way from OH, meeting up with bobby this evening and then headed Downeast Friday. Hope we're able to find some fish this weekend; there's a lot more on the line (no pun, OK.................sorry about the pun) than usual.
