What the fuck stung me

Okay, so I'm helping my family dredge dead plants and weeds around dock area of where they live in Northern Wisconsin.
Every so often with the muck we get snails, dragonfly nymphs and these things. At first I was thinking they were tadpoles. I just cupped them, moved them to the shore area where we weren't dredging and let them swim away.
Now one of them had a redish stomach and right after I touched him I started feeling like got stung and saw this single, large spine sticking out of its dorsal area. It had enough umph to draw blood and it's still causing discomfort a good hour after it happened.
Assuming I'm not going to die or need to see a vet. I'm wondering, have been really just rescuing baby channel or flathead catfish and one decided to sting me, or are there tadpoles with spines that I'm not aware of? They look kinda like that so that's why I'm thinking it's a catfish, but I don't see anything about them having a single spine on their dorsal area that's not connected to a fin.
