Great video guys! The Preston brothers always deliver huge crawfish!

[@thecreeksidehomestead3329]

It was cool seeing that monster enter the trap at the beginning of the video🦞

[@randomguy2369]

I used to catch alot of these in my back yard in a resaca in south texas always thought they were some type of freshwater lobster lol because compared to the other ones you find here they are monsters

[@crayster3926]

This species is called the signal crawfish and they are caught through the west.

[@royolson1268]

Thank you for sharing. Can’t wait to catch a monster crawfish .🦞

[@crayster3926]

And we can't wait to see the picture!

[@royolson1268]

Crayster I will send pictures.

I live in buhl id... Been wanting to crayfish trap... Are we aloud to keep traps out overnight ? Do they need to be attended? You have your traps 'tagged' ? Jw... They don't really enforce stuff on buhl... Twin they do lol. But my luck who knows

[@crayster3926]

You can put your traps out overnight, and you do tag them with your information. Check out the Crayster traps at www.procrayster.com They are far and away the best and made right here in Idaho!

Great video Guys 👍 location location and fresh bait 😜.

[@crayster3926]

Heck yeah! And don't forget a good trap.

[@texdog2772]

You might consider throwing a few of the biggest ones back letting there genes carry on there large size. They have found this works in all species. Someday only mojumbo crayfish will be there. Your little cove where only the giants live.

[@crayster3926]

We have no shortage of big crawfish here. But some times we catch so many we do put a few back. You will have to check out our "Race for the Water" episode.

[@blakeweldon2964]

If you catch crawfish and plan on boiling them the next day. What's the best way to keep them fresh until then?

[@crayster3926]

Keep them on ice or in a cooler with a bubbler. Thanks for watching.

[@blakeweldon2964]

Thanks guys! Just getting into crawfishing because of your videos and bought a trap from yall!

[@seidahoangling2059]

Have you caught crawfish on Ririe yet this year? I’m having a hard time this year in the spots I normally do well!

[@crayster3926]

We have, but its been sparse. We think the lake went too low, then too high. We are hoping there was not a big kill rate this year.

[@seidahoangling2059]

Good to know I was wondering! This is Preston Horman by the way, we’ve met a couple times I was friends with Jake in high school!

[@petercollin5670]

Has the American west always had crayfish like that? how come Louisiana has the big crawfishing tradition but not the Rockies?

[@crayster3926]

Yep, the American west has always had some of the biggest crawfish. Like you saw in the episode there are some monsters in Louisiana also. Big ones everywhere!

[@teresaandtimraidt9076]

Did you live in Colorado Springs?

[@JayMeLen]

I know there's the difference between lobsters and crayfish, but some of these big ones look like a baby lobsters. Is there such a thing as a freshwater lobster?

[@weaselboy1315]

What kind of bait??!!

[@shredddd_pappppi4033]

What state are you guys located in? We got lots of lakes in Oklahoma

[@user-hh1fx9nq1j]

idaho

[@roberthodge2771]

A 77 year old Marine cannot afford those $119+ traps are out of my budget; wish that was not true; being able to walk far is a long gone idea too. Man; I just drool thing about those traps.

[@steventodd5678]

100 years old can you out fish them ?

[@SAWA-nx5co]

Hi. Should I have license for crayfishing in Ontario? Thanks

[@mylivingsoil]

Naw just can't travel with them alive. Need to boil at the water edge to transport. I'm looking forward to catching some this year everywhere I fish my self. Toronto Ontario! Algonquin where its at

[@SAWA-nx5co]

@mylivingsoil thanks, I'll try catch in March/ April

[@roberthodge2771]

Where is that water at? Or Are you Not ever telling?

[@bongjamesbong00420]

Any huge crawfish in Georgia????????

[@crayster3926]

I have actually heard of big craws caught all over the U.S. Some times it is the traps that restrict the big ones from getting in.

[@Loudmetro]

I just ordered your lake trap. Looking forward to catching some bigguns!

[@crayster3926]

Heck yeah man, let us know how you do!
