  • I have known and loved the louisiana people for many years. Actually married to one 20 yrs...only recently the term Coon-Ass was explained to me....early cajun people were fond of wearing coon-skin hats. people unfamiliar with cajun culture would say Hey You Know You have a Coons Ass on your head ? Huh ?

    This was told to me in all sincerity as truth -- Not a Joke....and makes perfect sense...

  • @JonStark222 LOVE that explanation, thank you so much! Yeah, we love LA too, and really feel for the fishing folks out there right now. We hope to get back there someday, what a great place.

  • what's a "Coon-Ass"? is it someone from the Bayou? someone that catches Crawfish? please explain, i'd love to know...thanks.

  • Joe explains in our original video, but YouTube pulled the audio because of their copyright policy. :-| He described "Coon Ass" as the crawfish country equivalent of Hillbilly, basically a local yokel from the deep south. Thanks for asking!

  • Well, screw YouTube and their DRM algorithms for disabling this video for the snippet of audio we used in between Joe's comments. You'll have to take our word for it -- this WAS an inspiring interview with another family farmer. Read all about our crawfish farm tour at LiveWorkDream (dot) com.

  • A coonass is a stupid, ignorant person. Cajuns call each other that just like black people call each other "nigger". But they dont take kindle to outsiders using the term.

  • @JonStark222 a coon is also a black person

  • @JonStark222 ihave people in Louisiana too and when they visit us we pick at them and call them coonass and i really never knew why lol

  • @brohmanski a coon ass is the brown hole right under a coons tail.

    coon ass for life!!

  • Joe this soundtrack is straight banging.

  • @brohmanski according to a couple louisiana friends of mine, it's a mispronunciation of a french/cajun french term for backwater yokels.

  • Would have been nice to hear whet that feller had to say..

  • I tell you what! If you like this mess, check out the Collapse-A-Trap video on you tube... that dang boy catch'in all kinds a bait fish!
