I’ve caught one on a hooked dropped down at the Edisto 40. It went down a mullet and came back up a mantis shrimp.

That is a very cool video… never too old to learn

Good pets? My Golden is a good pet, don’t want no crazy shrimp. Boil it in a pot
Lol, that’s why I used the term “mostly”. Just like you hear stories all the time of the divers at the dam at the Tailrace Dam /Lake Marion Dam /Lake Wylie Dam/Mountain Island Dam/Cedar Creek/Every (**() old Dam on the Planet that go down to “inspect the turbines” and refuse to ever go down there again because of the huge catfish.
I’m sure that’s happened, somewhere, at some point in time, but I’ve heard it about every single dam I’ve fished at.

If they grew 3 feet long, you’d have no reason to go in the water, and I’m pretty sure Mary Lee would evolve legs and become a tree dweller.

He has a couple of other fish, but he has been all over the interweb researching the hows, whys, what fors, where tos, etc., and any other thing he can come up with on Mantis Shrimp. So I don’t think that there will be any major surprises. He seems really focused on and committed to keeping this thing alive and thriving.
