I tried pulling the things out of the ground with bacon and a piece of twine the whole time I was growing up. I suceeded in getting one far enough up to lay my eyes on once but then lost him. If you get one out, it will be a meal hard earned. Holy crap, I thought my and my buddies were the only kids that did that! WOW! |
| They could have named them after any kid in Baytown, like me thirty years ago, instead of a museum guy from McKinney. Seems like all of rural Texas knew about them, just not the "crayfish expert"s at the Smithsonian. Their mud ball castle walls were a main weapon of front yard fights for us. |
