HAHA
Come on ePiC, you gotta be careful! I know what you mean. Last summer I was night fishing at Chatfield and caught a big crawdad and I was holding it and my friens and I were arguing about something when it got the soft kin on the top of my hand!!! OUCH! so I was trying to fling it off and in the process tripped over my rod, fell on it, and snappe the tip off when my knee came down on it and a rock. The point is be careful with your crawdad, but using your hand makes it a "more intense" hunt, because I'm always a tiny bit nervous grabbing the big ones. While I'm on this I have another story. I was barefooted wading around the edges of the island in the big pond at Cahtfield when I saw a crawdad I wanted. I slowly lifted the rock to get him when this massive crawdad darted out at me. I had never seen one this big and I swear it was attacking me. I fell backwards into the water and gave up on the crwdads that day. So I guess I just like the thrill when the fishing is slow. Like they say...teenagers never learn...
Ouch....
