Sounds like you found an aquatic leech can be found in most freshwater ponds and lakes in this country, they attache themselves to fish and using the circular ring of teeth cut into the flesh to allow themselves to become engorged with blood, when full they drop off. They are still used in micro surgery to enable healing.
The leggy monster was probably a caddis grub or some such larveal stage of bugdom.
