        I'm betting it's a baby snakehead.

                    You could e-mail the photos to DNR. They will give you an answer.

                          I believe that we are looking at a horny male newt, who is mistaking the lure for a girlfriend.

                            Laughing at all the responses but yes it is a newt ferociously biting my bait. Found it at the end of my line after I reeling in my lure.
