We would pay good money for that gene pool here in Louisiana. If he is truly one foot long(can't tell in your photo as there is nothing to give perspective) he would make our hall of fame. Maybe it's really a lobster. Capture him and hold a ruler to him so we can see his true size!
This Monster is no longer in his spot (I observe the place almost daily).
Sorry, I am not able to help with his gene pool. The area belongs to Sepulveda Wildlife Preserve... http://sepulvedabasinwildlife.org/sbwr.html ...you can ask them if they would help.
