What the biggest Crayfish you have seen in Ginnie?

[tomhauburn]

I did two dives on Friday in Ginnie with Gary and took the camera the first dive and parked it the second. As luck would have it I saw the biggest crayfish I've ever seen in a cave.It was located on the second dive up Hill 400. I put my hand by it with my forefinger out and it was longer than my finger and hand together. It looked like a small lobster. It was not an albino but it was still impressive. What the largest you have seen?

OHH Jammer I say my eye and mind are not too sharp tonight. I did the dives with Gary and I'[m just not used to seeing any in Ginnie. Thanks for pointing that out!

The biggest crayfish that are not albino I've seen were in the Ichetucknee River about 150' before it joins the Santa Fe, snorkeling not diving.

We saw a cave adapted crayfish in Camps Gulf Cave here in TN that was by far the biggest of any variety I have ever seen. We see surface species that are typically 4-6" long all the time, and cave adapted ones that are 4-5" are not uncommon.

This thing was as big as my size 11.5 boot! I've seen lobsters in the tanks at restaurants that seriously were not that big. Normally you can see through them but perhaps due to it's size this one was almost transparent throughout much of it's body. You could easily see the internal organs working right along.

Scared the crap out of me, I was about to put my foot down in the small pool it was inhabiting when I looked down and quickly altered course.
