Caught in a crab pot. Made a croaking Sound. Released.
Here is a good web site on this very interesting fish. It even has a recording of its "fog horn" croaking voice.

We came across several puddles that had hundreds of these floating in them in clumps, and some crawling nearby on wet leaves. Very cold day - temperature in the low 20s and very windy, and some of the other puddles we came across were frozen solid. Scooped some up to look at under magnification - I'll add more photos later.
Animation in third photo - some are spinning around in small eddies, but others can be seen actively crawling over wet leaves, especially in the upper-center and upper-right.

No idea what this is. Some kind of millipede? It burrows into the mud like an earthworm.

This bryozoan is quite common in the waters of Lake Lure. It attaches to pilings, logs, seawalls, and other hard structures. Most are about the size of a human hand, but occasionally can be the size of a basketball or even larger.
