SS336, that spiky thing is apparently a Porcupine Fish, a relative of puffers. Did you catch it in fresh or salt water?

Mesa,
caught it in the Gulf of Mexico on Apalachee Bay near where I used to live. Salt water of course.
Was told it was a striped Burr Fish, it kind of looks like it.

Yup, close relative of Porcupinefish! GLAD to hear you didn't catch it in a trout stream!
