About 25 years a go.
I caught a big ole bright blue/turquoise crawfish in the creek behind my house. I put him in a jar and carried him to the local country store and let all the old timers look at him. They had never seen anything like it! Then carried him to the county agent. He had never seen anything like it! I pickled him in alcohol, carried him to numerous places,hundreds of people saw him, it was a first for them all! The kids each took turns carrying him to school for show and tell! Lost him and everything in a house fire. We also had a jet black squirrel my oldest son shot while hunting. We had it mounted and I also carried it to numerous places and no one had ever seen one like it before. Lost it to the fire also.
