Before I retired from the Sheriff Dept., the jail I worked at had 3 large any very long retension ponds around it. For some reason, a special time of the year, they would come out from the ponds and the road on front of the jail and parking lots would have 1,000's of them on it.

Some of us would go around picking them up in a 5gal bucket. We could fill the bucket in less than 10 mins. Sometimes we would pool all the buckets together and have a Craw Daddy cook out on the week end at the park! I'm talking about over 60-70gals (12-15 5galbuckets).
