Thread: Tiger Lilly

Danny I remember in '73 we went ride to Choctaw which is a ridge through the swamp. The yards had about a foot or so of water in them and people were crawfishing from their porches. Sacks of crawfish were stacked at the road for 5 dollars a sack. These were the large red swamp crawfish. We stopped along a road and put out a dozen nets and ran them twice. We had almost two sacks. the nets were so heavy that we could hardly raise them up. You'd have to start pulling up and wait for a lot of the crawfish to fall to the side to be able to get it out of the water. That was the first time I ever saw that and probable never will again. Memories.

Exactly Gene. Almost sunk a 15 jon boat using 24 drop nets for about 3 hours. One more sack and I think we wouldn't have made it.3 people 13 sacks of crawfish. Peeled them all!!

Way off topic but yall did start the ball rolling with epic crawfishing tales. Here's one of many crawfishy adventures from back in the day. Hope yall enjoy and can relate,
