Canal bass and shrimp

Gutting a couple of twenties in the past week each had large (six inch) green shrimp in their stomachs. Prior to that, eight or nine days ago, Ron Arra was seeing shrimp in the Canal. Please help identify. Thank you......apito

I hear they have one of the fastest reflexes around.

And they are delicious. We used to catch them in the oyster dredges. I'd bring them home and cook em like shrimp.

I think a few get shipped live to New York where they enter the Asian market down there.

Would make great bait if they weren't so ornery ... a friend of mine was wading down in Stuart, Florida and had one whack his ankle ... he went down and almost didn't get back to shore ... he was fishing alone that day, so no one was there to help him ...

I'm surprised. the two times i've had them they tasted gross, and there was little to no meat in them. but that was in china, so who knows what they did to them.

I will have to revisit my standing on edibility of mantis shrimp...

Had a few washing up from boat wakes at the canal on me 2 weeks ago.
Knew enough to keep my fingers out of the way of their super fast reflex.
