Muffin Posted April 10, 2013 Share Posted April 10, 2013 Hello everyone being a fishing forum I really felt that everyone would get a laugh out of this guy's writing style with respect to the Mantis Shrimp. http://theoatmeal.com/comics/mantis_shrimp The rest of his site is also very funny for those moments you can't be on the river. Enjoy. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Muffin Posted April 12, 2013 Author Share Posted April 12, 2013 Yeah they look like a pretty mean little buggers. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
reevesr1 Posted April 15, 2013 Share Posted April 15, 2013 We used to catch them in the shrimp net, and use them for bait. Really good redfish bait. Their "murder sticks" are pretty useless in air, but they are covered with little spines. Every once in awhile one would flick its tail while you were holding it and drive the little spikes in it's tail into your hand. Nasty little buggers!
