That is 100% without a doubt a mantis shrimp.  Down here in the low country we call them "shrimp mammies" and it is one of the best redfish baits you can get your hands on.   
  
Usually catch them in the shrimp nets or cast nets(rare) and be careful because they will bite/spur/pinch the sh!t out of you!
