At least he seems to be easily trackable so you can catch him. My dad and I were fishing on an inflatable boat one time and one swam by right next to us near the surface. Fucker was huge. So cool to see.
I saw one crossing the road down on a dirt road in Delacroix LA…had to be close to a hundred pounds. Some locals came by in a truck, bonked it on the head with a pipe and threw it in the back of the truck…I’m sure it was soup soon after…

It was 30 years ago…I don’t remember if it had spikes.

After twenty minutes, I broke him off…
