In the spring, when they are spawning and you have a big rain, you can walk around the edges of ponds and see several in a group. You just see the fins sticking out the water.
Walk up to them from the side with a 3/4" X 8' galvanized pipe with a union on one end.
Smack the biggest one on the head with the union end of the pipe.
She will shoot straight ahead like a torpedo for 20' or so and die. Throw her in a pirogue and find the next group. They are easy pickins at that time of year.
