Wow!!! :yike:

That is a MONSTER hogcraw Ben...

I am going to check to see what it would take to get a state record category for a crawdad.  You would hold that record no doubt.

We went up to Twisp for Labor Day weekend and tried our best to get some grouse but no luck. We did however do well with the crays. This was the largest at 8.5" and best pot had 36 in it.

I was going to freeze some of the tails (but I couldn't resist and ate them all LOL). I found this article from LSU on prep and freezing techniques. Thought you guys would enjoy the read.

Yes it is very hard to save them and not eat them. I actually froze a couple of pounds  two years ago. Ended up making crawdad alfredo for Christmas Eve and it was awesome.

Sad that I haven't been able to make it out this year.

Went on Labor Day at 70 degrees. A little cold but worth it.

Nice catch Gearhead.

I have wondered about freezing crawdads.  We freeze spot shrimp every year and thought about freezing crawdads probably would be similar.

Did well this morning and got 78 in four pots, the best had 31 in it.  None were over 6˝" and we let them all go to get bigger for next year.

Fished a new style of trap and was pleasantly surprised that it had 24 in it.

This trap is the prize for the biggest hogcraw this year.  It was brushy in this particular spot and could not get my phone to focus that well.

Yes it is collapsible, less than one inch thick when folded, very pleased so far.
