Transporting live crawdads

[gmanhunter]

The only way I have ever eaten the things is to pull the tail off and devain them. I have never eaten the body or the claws. Maybe I'm missing the reasoning for cooking the whole thing. I pull them apart at the waters that I catch them at. I put the tails on ice and cook them when I get home. The only thing I have a hard time understanding is why do I need a fishing license to catch the dumb things?If I'm using traps or a chicken leg on a rope. Unless they consider a rope as fishing tackle.
