Down here we have a dual industry where the rice farmers are also crawfish farmers, raising crawfish in the rice fields. And, I'm talking thousands and thousands of acres. Well, all our roads down here (southwest Louisiana, aka Acadiana) have ditches along the side for water runoff during heavy rains. When the rain comes down fast and heavy, all the crawfish fields run over and thousands of crawfish overflow into the ditches. These ditches are fair game, and everybody gets out there with their sacks and load up.

I wish that was the same for every time one of my neighbor's black angus wanders down the road : )

I did manage to catch one smallie saturday. Then the sun got up.... :'(
