Need an idea for this 1.5 inch female. Caught in a little drainage creek, there's a brown morph too of probably the same species. I don't think I've ever seen one more than 4", maybe 3.5 tops. Sorry for the poor pics.

Most likely a swamp crayfish judging from your location.
 
It's probably a Procambarus alleni which is native to Florida. I haven't seen one as light/translucent as your one though. Nice specimen there.
 
Great find!!
