Fishing for Murray Crayfish. It was a nice day to be in the boat with Trent Freer, and we caught quite a few crays over the day, but the biggest Murray cray we caught, just amazed me not only with the size, but with the speed it could snap its big white claws shut, and with a bit of coaching I got it on camera. I also got to keep all my fingers too, which is always a good thing.
I love catching Murray River Crayfish, with their big claws and all the spikes and armor, they look prehistoric.
We released all the crays that we caught, and there were Murray cray nets pulled in that did not contain any crayfish, I edited these out.
We were fishing for Freshwater Crayfish, (Murray River Crayfish), scientific name: Euastacus armatus, and sometimes called Spiny Crayfish. They are the second-largest freshwater crayfish in the world, the largest freshwater crayfish in the world are also in Australia, down south in Tasmania.
The mate I was with is Trent Freer, who also has a RU-vid channel, his channel is all about fishing in Australia, and he has caught some amazing fish. The link to his channel is below.

You can only catch Murray Crayfish in the Murray Crayfish season in the allowed areas of designated rivers. I am not going to put season dates on here as they may change over time. There are the minimum and a maximum size limit, and also limits as to how many you can catch and also possession limits.
Hope you enjoyed the video.
