Very nice
awesome.........
Thanks you guys, this morning there are 4 big double blooms:biggrin What can I say........GO TIIIIGEEEERS!!!!:)
Beautiful picture.
WOW that is a nice bloom.
I first saw one many years ago. My dad showed up with it at da camp, one day. He had dug it from the swamps between bayou cortableau and bayou two o'çlock. he had been fishing Sac au lait back in cowan bay. The thing lived by the steps at the camp for several years. finally dying in the flood of 73. It wasn't till 3 years ago that a few bulbs showed up in the mail. My wife had found them on line somewhere and remembering me, telling the story and ordered them for me. When the first one blooms every year I am taken back to that much simpler time. When the fishing was better too.:peacesmile

Being from Morgan City, I remember the flood of 73 very well. Fishing was so easy before then. But you talk about a good crawfish season that year. lol I almost forgot, nice flower Cappy.
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,
