We’re gonna need a bigger boiling pot.

Did someone say crawfish boil? Invasive lobster-size crayfish discovered in Texas, TPWD says

Several invasive Australian Redclaw Crayfish were recently collected by researchers from the University of Texas Rio Grand Valley in Texas, according to the Texas Parks and Wildlife Department.

Y'all should see the ones in Sweden, they are a wee bit bigger yet and not invasive.

I won a crawfish eating contest in El Dorado Arkansas about 15 years ago. Competition was a local DJ whose station was sponsoring the festival, a 3rd tier pro wrassler, and some giant chick. I embarrassed those folks. Time was I’d go head to head with the hardcore coonasses seeing who could finish 10 lbs first. I didn’t eat a single mud bug this season. Gonna have to fix that next year with a few of these guys I hope.

Up to two pounds?!

Mud bugs hell, Mud Lobstercules.

Look at ole Moonpie, making me what smarter than I already were.

Resacas.Resacas are former channels of the Rio Grande found in the southern half of Cameron County. There are two explanations for the origin of the word "resaca." The less likely holds that it is a contraction of Spanish rio seco ("dry river"). The other is that the word stems from the Spanish resacar ("to retake"), since the primary geological function of a resaca seems to be diversion and dissipation of floodwater from the river. Resacas are naturally cut off from the river, having no inlet or outlet.

. In New South Wales and Victoria they are called yabbies, in Western Australia the Koonac, Gigly and the Marron, while Queensland has the Redclaw.

Fried crawfish tails are excellent.

'bout to see a lot of Louisiana plates ... But I'm cool with that, if I'm invited to the boil.

Sightings of Australian Redclaw Crayfish should be reported to TPWD by emailing photos and location information

And let those revenuers get there before the Cajuns? Heck, no!

 

[AlteisenMkII]

That would be some heavy crawfish po'boys.

Australia has crawfish/crayfish that grow up to 10 pounds or so, the largest freshwater invertebrate in the world!

I just saw a long line of jacked up trucks on 69 south with Louisiana license plates and Ragin Cajun stickers… They will eradicate the problem in no time.

I've heard the word many times, but never knew how it was spelled until now
