I Caught A Crawfish Just Now.

:blink:

Here's the odd part:
There are a few miles to the nearest place they usually live, in fact there isn't a lake or such for at least a mile in any direction. Pretty surreal it was, apparently it's been crawling around outside for more than a day


If it hadn't been for a neighbor who happened to pass by as I caught it, I'd have no idea how it got there. She told me they'd been fishing them elsewhere yesterday.

It would seem one of them got away.

The question is what do I do with the sucker?

So far I've put it in a bucket and given it some dogfood.
Pics tomorrow, hopefully. Wouldn't want to leave it there as we have dogs and stuff and it could get nasty I thought.


The neighbor didn't want it, I asked.

I'm thinking I got to find a place to release it.

Whats a crawfish SnnY? :unsure:

A little lobster type creature from the sea :)

I actually thought about keeping it, it's pretty cool, but I don't think that'd work out for very long.

That's why I didn't post in IRC btw.

I was off catching it.

@Dan.......Same thing, depends where you're from :)

Edit@Mr's .........Cook it and eat it dude :01: Drop it in boiling water for about 8-10 mins til it goes bright red/orange :)

Then put it in a sandwhich :D

Can you eat it? :unsure:

'tis freaky to hold, but I don't wanna pick it up too much, I know it doesn't have much of a brain, but it doesn't seem right.

Beats this spider i was fiddling with earlier today, and the stick insects I keep.



The neighbors boiled the rest of them btw.

I think they're freshwater rather than salt, aren't they?

It will probably die in the bucket fairly quickly Snny. Best get him to the lake tomorrow :(
