Left camp at 1am and pulled my pots. Got about 20 and two just over 7inches. I tried a different spot and noticed this time that over half my crawdads only had one claw. Is this normal? Sweet catch. The last crawdad trip we did, some of the dads had one claw that was bigger than the other side. I was wondering if they "shed" there claws and evidently grow new ones?My theory was maybe there were more bass in the area. I did see a lot of fish. This was only my thought though and not based off of anything. One of the larger ones had what looked like another claw growing back. I think you can see it on the one in the picture posted earlier. I may have to google and see if they shed their claws.

I was wondering if they "shed" there claws and evidently grow new ones?Believe it or not, from my time diving freshwater and messing with fish and crawdads....most bass, largemouth and smallmouth, will take a crawdad only tail first. We would swim along and the bass would come right up to you. If you pulled a 'dad from under a log and gave his body a 1/2 twist while holding onto the tail it won't kill them but make them twitch nicely. You can drop it right in the water column and the bass will dart in a grab it. Every time they would take it in, spit it out, take it in, repeat until they got it just right.....tail first.
