Mudpuppy Off South Pier In Erie PA

On a recent fishing trip I caught a strange creature. A nice mudpuppy, which is actually an aquatic salamander. They live entirely underwater and forage on the bottom. They are nicknamed Waterdogs, as they can produce a bark like sound. Interesting catch. It is common in the cold waters of Erie PA to catch these creatures while targeting cold water fish.
