Caught a Madtom

Type: Tidal
Region:
Location: Brandywine Creek

My brother and I were catching crayfish to use for bait when we caught this catfish in the creek. I have never seen one like it maybe it's a invasive species.

DNR Response: You caught a tadpole madtom. Typical size for a madtom is 2-4 inches and they are usually found in small, low gradient streams.
