Mud puppies, endangered?

I finally made it down to Oakland at 5:30 this evening and all the real fishermen had already gone home. It seems that they caught all the catfish before they left because I didn't catch one. The remarkable thing is that in two and a half hours I didn't catch one catfish but the endangered mud puppy, I caught them all evening. No I don't know how many I caught, I lost count. I can assure you I caught more than you might expect for being endangered. I have always thought that endangered meant that there wsn't very many of them. The way I see it maybe the catfish are endangered. Did I mention that I didn't catch one catfish. I did catch two fish. The "C" word. I'm not gonna say it but "C" stands for carp.
