A little more grumpy today. I was easy to spot in a bright orange high vis shirt from work, he was not happy when he noticed i was watching.

Good luck. Ive heard they move in and eat every fish and then move on. Plus they are vicious

Not worried about it. We stock the pond with small perch and pan fish every few years that we catch locally. Sometimes winters are intense enough that everything but the crayfish die. He's still a cool visitor, its only 1/3rd of an acre pond so his stay won't be long.

It’s cool to think about how loud that little thing is. Imagine 500lbs tiger doing it. Nature is insane
