    I'm pretty sure it is, but just to be sure, I'm asking you.  Caught the fish about 2 months ago off a nightcrawler.  It measured around 16.5" long.  My reason for asking is that I'm trying to get a Master Angler patch.

    Yes it is, and according to the book, you have the name correct.
    Ashes to ashes, dust to dust, if it wasn't for my super smooth carbon drag, my 30 year old Trilene would bust!
