I live in Arizona and we catch the same size crayfish in the canals down stream from the Palo-Verdi Nuclear Power Plant. We fish for them at night because they glow in the dark. The meat kind of makes your gums bleed and your hair fall out but they taste pretty good. Well, I'm off to my chemo-therapy treatments. Happy fishing mates.
These crayfish tell their friends about being abducted by strange aliens onboard a ship and being probed and analyzed before being released. Of course their friends don't believe them.
I just think it's really cool seeing the different varieties of the same creatures all over the world.. the magic of the internet. A guy here in Boston such as myself can watch a couple of guys in Australia have a nice day catching some monster crayfish! It's just plain old cool
G'day from Australia, I am glad you liked it. You are right we have so much access to the things we are interested in now and it is right at our fingertips. Thank you for your comment.
Holy crap -didn't know crays got that big. I hear that the UK has a problem with imported US crays. Maybe they should bring in some of these monsters to take care of the US crayfish - and possibly the entire stray cat and dog population.
And take care of the London rats... The four legged and the two legged? Her haw! (I lived outside London for two years... Talk about HORRIBLE rat problem, like New York and Guangzhou...
I think we are just trying to keep the numbers up, there are bag limits and other rules around catching them, all for a very good reason, let's not let the numbers get too low. I don't think there is anybody farming them.
I think they take so long to get big that it becomes not worth it to farm them. Farming is all about having a high output:input ratio, and these bad boys just don't add up. They're great for catching them in the wild, where mother nature raises them for 18 to 60 years, but not great for farming.
Always amazed of the sheer vastness of your country not another person in site I guess that’s why everything is bigger down under it has a chance to grow before ending up on the kitchen table 🤙🏼
Catch and release crawfishin. Would never happen here in Louisiana, lol. Maybe if we had those giants I’d have no problem letting them go but the swamp, pond and river crawfish would only make it back to my home. Yummy mud bugs. Thanks for the fun adventure.
Wow that's a crawdad? Its gotta take decades for it to get to that size. Any American crawdad would be finger snacks for that critter. I would imagine that in the USA, that would also take care of the racoon and possum problems some of us have, as well as misbehaving children.
@@dodgyhodgie734 Yeah, that'd be why I said "matter of TIME." & yes, someone will eventually sneak a bunch of these across the pond. It is, as I said, a matter of time. It'll likely start in a body of water or river naturally low in predators specific to crayfish, & snowball out from there. 20 years is a pittance in the overall picture.
I have to admit, you Aussies have some mutant crayfish, hell your smallest one is twice the size of our biggest ones here in the U.S. that big female looked like a large lobster, Kudos!!
Man Gavin , you guy's down in Ausland are so lucky! I've been fishing Crawdad's and Crab for about 40 years , and we don't get Crawdad's this big the the NW USA. Also super jealous of you guy's which wade around in the marsh and find this big mud crabs. I'd kill to be able to go catch them. Even just catch and release.....would be a blast!
+Ethan Banks hahahahaha "that hurts them"??? mentally u mean? lol. youre a sensitive little fella arent ya. thats so cuuuuute. get a life. are u 100% vegan? must be bcuz obviously youd never be responsible for a little discomfort or pain brought on to another would u. it would be fun to see that big female grab u by the nose. just for laughs
Wow! AWESOME Crawdads ya guys caught there and very impressive that large female, seems like that last little guy, that's the size of crawdads back home in Utah, thanks for posting this BIG Crawdads ya all have Down Under! :)
Australian Murray River crayfish (Fresh Water) are the second largest fresh water crayfish (fresh water lobster) known to man. That female you caught and let go looked as big as an average Ocean Maine/European Lobster. I wish we had your big Murrays and Red Claw in North America and Europe, a wonderful catch and meal!
I do think we are very lucky to have these crays in some of our rivers, I am especially lucky as I live very close to the Murray river. They are fun to catch and you can also eat them. It doesn't get much better than that. Thanks for your comment.
Gavin Clark Anytime. You are blessed with such fantastic Ocean Lobster size, fresh water crayfish. Please keep doing what you all do to protect insure future generations of the Murray Crayfish. BTW, can you legally keep females without visible eggs? How do the crayfish taste?
Yes, you can keep them if they don't have eggs, but there is a strict cray season and you need to be inside these dates, They also state which rivers and where you can fish for cray, there are minimum and a maximum size limit, and also limits as to how many you can catch and also possession limits. Now you ask what do they taste like? Well for the size of them they don't have a lot of meat, but it's sweet meat and has a taste of its own.
hi, may i ask if is it possible to buy 1 of those in market ? can it be export out of aus ？ 。。do let me know ya... nice video and keep up with the gd works
Thank you for your comment. I have never seen Murray Crayfish for sale anywhere, ever, but that does not mean they are not available. If you google "buying or selling Australian Murray Crayfish" there may be an authorized person that can get one to you.
Gavinc Subbed ya mate, hope ya bring more great videos. :) Least your outdoors camping. I just sit watching how fkd up the world really is/has become! (ahhhh, yup, i'm addicted ta UA-cam, no commercials and watch what i want, when i want!!! :D Feel free to watch if they come up on my playlist. I don't re upload.... If nothing comes up, get back to me and i'll give you some great links if your interested? cheers! Mick
@Tony Gonzalez that sounds like it might be good on all kinds of things! Kinda your own Tony chachere's...! Have to try it on some chicken or maybe even a fish fry .
I live in Tasmania; we have the largest species of freshwater crayfish in the world. The Tasmanian freshwater crayfish live to around 70 years old and can measure up to 40 inches (1 metre) long stretched out and weigh upwards of 6 kilograms (13 pounds). They eat mostly rotting wood and leaves and invertebrates. The Tasmanian freshwater crayfish is the largest species in the world and the Murray River crayfish comes in at number two. Both species are rare and protected.
I don't think the little feller would get out of Australia, customs would be doing their job and put a stop to it. I love the look of these crays too. Thanks for your comment.
DimmuMaule Thanks for making me laugh! I was watching a nature show one time about a river over there in kangaroo land, where these adventures set up camp one late afternoon 20 or 30 yards from shore when in the middle of the night some unlucky buzzard woke up to a Crock dragging him into the river by his leg! He survived, Christ can you imagine! I guess some empty beer or soda cans sure would of been handy just to string em together so you could hear the sumbitch coming! Good thing to know, sleep tight!
I am from the state of Arkansas in the United States and I have not seen crayfish as large the the largest one you all caught. Ours are smaller like the smaller ones you all released. In Louisiana they would really love to be catching some as large as the large one you got first.
Telecom rope. Awesome crays. Used to swim in dams filled with small crays (robusta?) that were blue coloured. When we'd go underwater we could hear thousands of 'clicks' all in unison. My mates and I believed it was the crays clicking their claws, but never found out how they make the noise for sure. Anyway, good vid.
Here we call them crawdaddies. Just fyi, release females with eggs right away. Stressing them tio much can cause them to release them and/or eat them. The eggs also dry out pretty fast which kills them. Wasn't sure if you knew. Great video. ☺
Hey mate! I just watched a NatGeo show about the Cassowarie bird. I'm so coming to the land down under! in a short segment they talked about feral pigs. The first time ever I've seen that. I also had zero knowledge pertaining to Australia having a rain forest. I thought most of your land was like Arizona, where I live.
I am glad you liked it, we are very lucky in Australia our Murry Crayfish are the second largest freshwater crayfish in the world, we also have the largest freshwater crayfish in the world here too, down south in Tasmania. Thanks for your comment.
Right away I see one of us Yanks saying we should bring them over here we have seen what invasive species who seems harmless have done to Australia and America and farming it sorry by the comments from Australia they grow slowly I say leave them alone take what you will eat you must keep a stable stock or they will disappear I love most of the animals in Australia except the ones that bite sting inject Etc always wanted to visit Australia something very special about it The Lucky Country or something like that you call your Island continent still Wild in the center There Are Places man has never walked I saw a documentary about Darwin Australia supposed to have some terrible lightning storms saw it on the Weather Channel which has some great documentaries on worldwide weather take care of those big crayfish they are a National Treasure
@@GavinClarkdiy I know! The Murray isn't looking good atm either plus the Darling as you said, and the BOM says it's only going to get worse! It's the farmers who are really talking a beating. Cheers mate.
Those are incredible. Here in the US people like to "suck the heads". They say it's delicious and that the seasoning concentrates there but I can't imagine anyone sucking the guts out of those monsters! Thanks for the video, I had no idea those existed.
With our yabbies (similar to your crawdads) I have seen people suck heads, not me though. I am with you I can't imagine doing that with these big fellers. I am glad you liked the video, thanks for your comment.
Wow, I just discovered that the Murray is about 2500 kilometers long, or about 1500 miles... What's the fishing like there? How far up from the outlet at the sea are the crayfish? Just curious, I live on another continent; but I was just wondering...
The Murray River system is the eleventh longest river in the world. The water (especially downstream) is very murky. We have a real problem with European carp in the river system and they outcompete the native fish. You should look up the Murray cod (they get pretty bloody big).
Yes, they are freshwater only. The Murray crayfish, Euastacus armatus, is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Australia and belongs to the family Parastacidae
Hi Gavin, im wondering what is the hottest recorded water temperature there? Im trying to figure out at what maximum temperature Euastacus Armatus can handle. Thanks
I have no idea, the water is quite deep and it is quite cold down there, We are on the Murray River in Australia and they live in various places along it and a few other rivers also, you may have to google it, sorry I can't help you.
The state of Louisiana will be by for a visit later. Only luggage we require is pots and some spices.
Dont forgot the files powder
I’ve never seen a crawfish that big! That was fascinating! thanks for sharing the video!

Eat some more irradiated crayfish, it will kill the cancer cells.
These crayfish tell their friends about being abducted by strange aliens onboard a ship and being probed and analyzed before being released. Of course their friends don't believe them.
HaHaHa, yes, similar to some human stories. Thank you for your comment
It's the fixation with probing around under the tail that makes the story so hard to believe.

Second largest freshwater cray behind the Tasmanian monsters.

Did you get that from the movie Rock and Rolla😂😂😂 great movie 👍👍
Looks more like afresh water lobster
Just think of the bass that eats them things
Made my mouth salivate when you caught the first one. Hahaha Great vid!
Glad you liked it, thank you for your comment.
Those make our American crawfish look like bait. You folks in Australia got plans to farm those monsters? Would be a smart thing to look into.
I think we are just trying to keep the numbers up, there are bag limits and other rules around catching them, all for a very good reason, let's not let the numbers get too low. I don't think there is anybody farming them.
Our crawfish in the states are more like popcorn shrimp when compared to this damn lobster of a crawfish.
I think they take so long to get big that it becomes not worth it to farm them. Farming is all about having a high output:input ratio, and these bad boys just don't add up. They're great for catching them in the wild, where mother nature raises them for 18 to 60 years, but not great for farming.
IKR.. Makes you wonder how big the fish are that eat them.
Praetor_Fenix420 i doubt they have many predators when they reach adult size, unless they have shed their shed they are pretty safe.
Always amazed of the sheer vastness of your country not another person in site I guess that’s why everything is bigger down under it has a chance to grow before ending up on the kitchen table 🤙🏼
You could be right, it would be a strain on everything if we had heaps more hunters etc.
Freshwater lobster!

Love the video boys from the us .keep them coming .we dont get them back here .cheers .
Wow. Mate that is incredible. Her offspring will be perhaps twice the size as normal crawfish. I wouldn't shake hands with them. Thanks for posting.
I am glad I did not shake hands with her, they are amazing creatures. Thank you for your comment.
I have never seen them that big before, that's amazing.
I wish we had those in Alabama,would make a great Crawfish Boil.
Me to buddy
Just a matter of time before somebody intros them into US waters. Gonna play holy hell with the native pop when that happens...
I can't find any that size South of Mobile or in Choctaw county. I would be catching them every day I could if those were here.
@@bobbofly no they wont, they take way to long to mature, be 20 years for them to get to the size of the first one.

Holy Sh!t, those guys are massive. Im glad we don't have them in the states, it would stop me from swimming in a lot of places lol.

Fantastic. Heard about these but first time seeing them .
They are amazing things to catch and hold. Thank you for your comment.
Great video you bloody wallaby wackers! Those things are huge!!

Thanks for the Sub Mick, I am also a big youtube watcher for the same reasons you do. There will be more videos from me, keep well mate.
That crayfish would be a cheaper alternative to lobster.
TheZeek no because assholes in the U.S would raise prices instantly
Not really, if they're only in Australia
Someone would farm them so they can be brought over.
TheZeek they don’t taste as good though.
As someone a little familiar with the industry . Lobster prices are inflated lots of money made from the lobsterman to the plate
They look so funny going in backwards.
Good Job Guys !!!!!
Well done Bro, your spirit earns a salute!

What's the fishing like there? How far up from the outlet at the sea are the crayfish?
Just curious, I live on another continent; but I was just wondering...
Hi, if you search "Lake Mulwala, Australia" that will put you almost where we caught these, we caught them on that lake. Thank you for your comment.
The Murray River system is the eleventh longest river in the world. The water (especially downstream) is very murky. We have a real problem with European carp in the river system and they outcompete the native fish. You should look up the Murray cod (they get pretty bloody big).
That was awesome. Are Murray Crayfish fresh water only and are they a relative of the crayfish family? Look forward to your answer. Cheers
Yes, they are freshwater only. The Murray crayfish, Euastacus armatus, is a species of freshwater crayfish endemic to Australia and belongs to the family Parastacidae
That crayfish already looks like a lobster
Hi Gavin, im wondering what is the hottest recorded water temperature there? Im trying to figure out at what maximum temperature Euastacus Armatus can handle. Thanks
I have no idea, the water is quite deep and it is quite cold down there, We are on the Murray River in Australia and they live in various places along it and a few other rivers also, you may have to google it, sorry I can't help you.
