I was out working rocks in a stream north of Houston yesterday and caught my first adult Southern Brook Lamprey. I worked a lot of rocks, but found only four and they were all on the same rock. Here's a picture along with photos of with photos of ammocoetes I collected last year.

Thanks for sharing. Can't say I have ever collected a lamprey of any kind. Never even seen one, not alive anyway. Must have made your day pulling him up.

When adults they do not feed and only exist to spawn and then Die. Adults do not even have a digestive tract.
