“…Blue cats top the whopper club, as anglers sometime catch blues weighing more than 120 pounds. Old records dating to the 19th century contain claims (not always entirely credible) of the Mississippi River giving up individual whiskerfish of the blue kind in excess of 300 pounds. Joseph Wiggins landed the official Louisiana record, a 105-pound blue, from the Mississippi in June 1997…”
And speaking of a “nice big pot” (that Bill referred to in his last paragraph), I just finished my first Crawfish Boil of the year and I used a 25 Gallon pot to boil the 44 pounds of live mud-bugs that we pinched and sucked down today… yeah.. I said pinched and sucked cuz that’s how we eat them.. pinch the tails and suck the heads. Along with five pounds of hot sausage, 10 pounds of red potatoes, a dozen ears of corn, a pound of mushrooms, a couple of artichokes… and any other loose vegetables I had in the fridge.. oh yeah.. and four pounds of crab boil, 32 oz. of hot sauce and my own special seasoning mixens. Mmmmmm.. Mmmmmmm… Goood!!!!!
