for the first time caught "halfbeaks". that's what i've heard them be called, but i can't find much information on them when I do a google search. what is the scientific name for this fish?

i also caught a bunch of these. is this a melanistic strain of F. chrysotus or a different species altogether?

and I figured while I'm at it...
is this a Snapping Turtle?

and what is this ON the grass shrimp? it looked like some sort of bug/parasite attached to it. the club vice president caught a bunch of shrimp and i heard him say "these are different shrimp...they have the egg mass on the side!" so I go to look at it, and this is what I see. they had no eggs but had this round thing attached to them...
