Notes
18in. male found with an egg mass. The rock he was under was 6-10ft from shore in knee deep water. The egg mass was quite large. How many eggs I don't know, but the mass was probably around 12in across and a few (6?) inches deep. Like all of the other rocks flipped this was put back exactly as found, the eggs were slid back under through an opening, and the hellbender was placed back under the rock as well.
