That thing is fantastic. It looks a lot like something we used to catch on the shrimp boat around here.. of course that is a pod and I think what we used to catch was a type of lobster.
Do you know if they prey on fish or clean up waste or what?

Did you want one? Just take your boat out in the Gulf there to your west and start looking or setting some deep traps.
