This is long-jawed mudsucker (Gillichthys mirabilis). This little guy was caught in the crab trap set to catch crabs. It is baited with dry dog food which sometimes entices intrepid mice. ~ The mice have to dodge birds, rattle snakes, in-coming tides, lots of mud, and large distances from dry land where they make their homes.
We catch, measure, and release animals. This mudsucker got to have its picture taken.
Beautiful!
