Crawfish Release

This is when we first dumped out the bag of crawfish to be released into the creek. They were so wound up from being in the bag that they just wanted to fight each other instead of making a break for freedom.








This little guy had been after Giselle since we first brought him home from HEB and he wasn't about to stop now. He kept grabbing at her everytime she even came close, he even went after her pink shoes. He was so fiesty that he was still trying to grab at her even as he backed into the water and went on to his new life.











It's funny, the really big guys like this one wouldn't really try to grab you, instead they would swim away very fast - it was rather challenging trying to catch them in the pool to bag them up for release. Maybe it's because their claws are so big and heavy that it's not worth it to them to try to fight a predator with them. But this is a final shot of one of the big guys just before he went down stream to a deeper swimming hole.
