A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Well according to multiple sources it's not photo shopped.
so... I submitted it to a few photo shop sites just to double check on authenticity. Not that I don't believe something like this could exhist... I just wanna be sure.
I also sent an e-mail to a few professors in the region that specialize in freshwater invertebrates and ecology.
Every once in a while I come back to this page and search around a bit. Still can't find an ID!
Based on what Bayucca has posted, it seems to be closest to Duliticola.
Size is still an issue though.
... we're sure this isn't photoshopped right?
... then again it could also be Noctuidae. In which case there are about 35,000 known species.

What an awesome resource Gator! I'll have to let folks know about that one.
Lauren, You can see the tags in detail on my page:

We tag hundreds to thousands depending on the year from Washington all the way to southern Arizona. Our next meeting is in January and I can tell you exactly how many we tagged this year then.
Do you know if your friend was fishing in fresh or salt water?
wow... It looks like the pole in the foreground is a Fishing pole which should help with relative size some.
Seems to be really large, if it enjoys the water so much and was caught while fishing are we sure its not some type of crustacea?
