It came from the Deep
« on: January 06, 2013, 11:39:36 AM »

So, I was out fishing the "Big Lake" on the west side for perch last week and pulled this guy out by accident.  My line got caught on some other line that was out there so I decided to pull in that other line just to get it out of the water and I was rewarded with the biggest crawdad I have ever laid eyes on.   :yike:

I have caught a few here and there using my traps but this guy was huge (at least I think so).  The second picture of him on the plate does him more justice.... there was enough meat in his claws even for a few very tasty bites.

Cheers!

- John G.

Well from the looks of the one crawdad it would be worth a few sets that's for sure.
