And A guy in Japan actually broke the record by one ounce. Yea I'm rich! Oh wait it has to be broken by at least two ounces.....that must have been a big let down. Many other interesting stories about the big bass (worth a million dollars) that "got away".

Mike Long lives in infamy for his Bass cheating. But I recall a story about a fish named Dottie, at Lake Dixon. Small lake with big Bass. These guys actually reeled in Dottie and broke the record. Instant millionaire! But wait Dottie was actually "snagged" from the outside of her mouth. These...

A conman busted red handed. Interesting enough (to me) the world record for a Largemouth Bass is 22 pounds four ounces. And was caught in1932.. Almost 95 years ago!!! This was in Georgia, and was apparently weighed at the post office. This is the most sought after sport fish record in the...

I envision a couple dozen big crawdad tails, perfectly processed, each with there own toothpick, cooked on the grill... for appetizers. Perhaps after a short time in a marinade. Crawdads or Lobsterettes... Let's go eat em.... that's what I say.

Zak, as always, you are spot on. That being said, the video that refers to "processing" these critters to the maximum "wow factor" has some merit IMHO. Of course it would take forever to do this with ten pounds of crawdads, but meticulously processing these Lobsterettes, and presenting the small...

Stonedfish...I did a quick search about how to cook a freshly caught Signal Crayfish. "Purging" (like is done with clams) does not seem to be an issue. Wash them off and boil em in pre-made "boil" spices...seems to be how it is done. I urge you to view this Youtube.. How to Cook & Peel Signal...

Dennis Mitchell I believe you are correct...(Perhaps that's why I've never seen a "gator fest" up here.) "Crawdads"... when you read that word what do you think? Probably not gourmet cuisine. Now.... Lobsterettes over angel hair linguine topped with a white wine sauce? Yeah mmm. Every Crawdad...

Back on topic...these crawdads have indeed been "nicknamed" Lobsterettes. This is very cool, because "crawdads" have somewhat of a southern cuisine niche. To separate, and distinguish our crawdads by calling them Lobsterettes is kind of cool, IMHO. These Signal Crawfish have every right to be...

Drop it back down and swear you never saw it.....??? Just kidding... (sort of). I wonder how many fish followed that up to the surface.

This morning I had the cold, half of a leftover frozen pizza in the fridge. Breakfast? Wait,, I have eggs! Scrambled them up, scraped off the top of the pizza into a pan with the eggs..and had a terrific omelet. It's an old trick of mine.

Apparently, live Signal Crawfish, when in season, sell for about $10 a pound in Seattle. So a sport fisherman can potentially harvest $100 worth of these tasty little guys. To me, that is an enticing fishery. I'm imagining a big plate of appetizers...or possibly an addition to clam chowder or...

Landlocked...that is a great video.

Long ago I attended the "gator fest". It was a blast, the zydeco music, dancing.. and, of course, crawdads. The little tails tasted sooo good.. but dang it was a lot of work to get a small amount of meat. The line was a mile long and the plate was not cheap. Years later I watched a guy haul in...

I watched many you tube videos, and experimented with simpler designs, but this fly, (dragged across my bathtub) seemed to have a very enticing effect, with the fur "claws" spreading out and then contracting together as the line was tightened . I don't know about the fish, but this action looked...

I like that fly Dennis Mitchell. I found an image of one of mine

These are called "Signal Crawfish". They have been nicknamed "Lobsterettes". Apparently the sport limit is 10 pounds....thats a heck of a lot of appetizers for a seafood feast.

In Southern California big bass hunters often buy crawdads for bait. "Stitching a dad", is an art, that can be very deadly for lunker Bass. M-D I have also tied some crawdad "flies", to use at Pass ( and Crab Creek). There is little doubt that those big Brown trout in Pass Lake enjoy dining on...

A few years ago I saw a guy at Pass that had Crawdad traps near the shore next to the road. He was absolutely scoring heavy. I also have talked with a Crab fisherman that was commercially fishing for them in Lake Whatcom. I did some research, and it seems as if these crawfish are a highly sought...

What the heck....

Very cool input Rio Grande King....I'll resist the temptation to replace the frog with a Hula Popper....Maybe. Thanks again for the input,..... I might never have seen John Merwin's quote.
