The ones with the external gills we have in our area are called mudpuppys AKA water dogs. Like the hellbender The are in the salamander family. And are a sign of good water quality.
Out west mudpuppys are neuts, redishbrown with orange tummy.

No photo as it was caught before cell phones and was not carrying a camera but I caught a “stargazer” while fly fishing the back side of Holgate on Long Beach Island

This looks more like a Hellbender which supposed to be protected. Sirens have external gills and only small forelegs.
Thank you for the clarification...that was indeed a hellbender. Not sure if they are vicious, but it seemed scary enough for me not to mess around with it! There must be some reason they got that name!
One thing for sure, we had been camping with 4 other families, and there were 10 children between us all. After I brought this back to camp, and told them where I caught it, everybody was "done" swimming for the rest of the trip! Kind of like the "Jaws" phenomenon!
