A crayfish? That's what it appears to be anyway.

Was going along a sandy bank

Saw a big one like that as kids playing in the creek. Close to 3 inches wide. We left him alone.

I would like to have a few small ones for Bream bait. Many large ones to eat.

We left him alone cause we were kinda scared of it. I was 8 or 9 at the time. Brother was 2 years older. Little ones would pinch pretty good. Figured at the time one that size might be like a snapping turtle.
