Default What the ?#$%@& is this?
A friend of mine pulled this up holding on to his bait while fishing in Barnegat bay last weekend. What the hell is it? (I already yelled at him for the crappy pic)

Appears to be a type of mantis shrimp.

appears like you are correct...just found this from a bait and tackle shop in NJ that had one brought in and researched it.

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!

One night gigging, I picked up over a half a dozen (with the gig, they were that big).
Boiled, the taste is between a Rock Shrimp and a regular Shrimp.
