<p>Video captured by Pennsylvania resident Larry Dones shows a rare Hellbender salamander he hooked while fishing for crawfish on the Kiski River in Tributary on April 30.</p><p>In a post to Facebook</a>, Dones stated that he had, “Given up on ever seeing one of these things in the wild, let alone right down the street from me in my home river.”</p><p>The Hellbender is the largest aquatic salamander</a> in the United States and can grow up to 29 inches long but are typically between 12-15 inches long. They are nocturnal and feed on crayfish and other small fish. They are endangered in the US due to habitat loss, which makes Dones’ find very rare. Credit: Larry Dones via Storyful</p><br />
