I've caught 'em before. They like live bait will sometimes be caught on trotlines. Slimy bugaboos! Up in the northeast part of the country, they make great live bait for huge stripers!

Yes sir. When I was a kid in an irrigation tank that fed off the Medina Dam system. Slimey critter.

Welp, looks like I've got one more reason to get out there on the water more often now!
