Mark Traps Crawdads

No one knows quite how Mark's mind works...

He's home on vacation and thought it would be "fun" to invent and build a crawdad trap, then find a place to catch them, then learn how to cook them.

There's a small opening in both cone-shaped ends, and a bait carrier that hangs in the middle (filled with shrimp). His theory: they would be smart to crawl in to get the shrimp, but not smart enough to figure out how to escape.

Friday night late, Mark and his friend Alan sneak down to Niles Canyon, and drop it in the river.

Saturday morning early, they go back to check for results. First trial's yield: 5 very angry crawdads.

Make that 5 very tasty crawdads.
