I hope you have some friends coming over to share your happiness.
Guess you could be finished with them by Monday morning if you are hungry.

Abita Springs Brewery in the Hammond has lots of very good locally crafted beers -- some lagers/pilseners and some stouts -- Turbodog is one of their top sellers.
My farm in Lacassine (18 miles east of Lake Charles) is surrounded by crawfish ponds and rice fields -- everyone was having a crawfish boil yesterday (kind of a tradition down here) -- the giveaway is that you will see pickup trucks driving by with folding picnic tables and those 6-ft long folding tables in the bed, with some ice chests (with the crawfish contained in sacks inside) -- the benches/tables are for "company/family" coming by to enjoy the feast.

Not sure if this is a dream or a real photo. I'm leaning towards dream due to no cuzzins holding PBR and whizzin on the bushes.....
When young my bro and I would walk a spring fed river catching buckets of crawdads. We would boil them and eat until we couldn't wiggle. Some of the softshell dads were huge. One difference I see in that stream from the 50's or 60's is, back then there was lots of tires, tin cans and other things in the water that crawdads loved to live in. All the trash has been removed. The last time I fished for trout there I saw very few crawdads.

American Invaders
In Taisho Japan -- 1912 - 1926 - entrepreneurs Imported bull frogs for their leg meat, setting up bullfrog hatcheries or farms or whatever you call 'em. Turns out bullfrogs like to eat crayfish. So the entrepreneurs imported crayfish from the States. These got loose and over the years kicked the native species of crayfish out of the flatlands and up into the mountains. These invaders are known as "American crayfish."
In Tokyo parks and roadsides, you can see boys fishing them out of little rivers and streams using the string and bait method. My boys liked to do that, too, when they were little.
Oddly, I don't think the Japanese eat them, at least not nowadays. My wife recalls going into the mountains with her grandfather as a young girls and him catching and cooking up the Japanese species on the spot. Hmm. Maybe those were a freshwater type of crab, and not crayfish, come to think of it. I need to ask her.
I wonder how much that boatload of crayfish cost? Sure does look tasty!!!
