I can eat about 7-10lbs and Im done.

I have a buddy, who is not a lard arse, that has been kicked out of 2 all you can eat boiled crawfish buffets.

He can literally eat a sack by himself. No BS. Years ago my brother invited him to a crawfish boil, and he brought his own sack of crawfish.

If I'm just eating crawfish I usually get about 8lbs myself. If I'm boiling or at a boil all day I probably approach 10+

at 3 lbs

I doubt he's bullshitting. I have a friend who clears 30 lbs regularly. He doesn't suck heads...it makes a difference.

At a Crawfish boil event that spans a few different sacks over a few hours, I could take down 12-15 lbs total.

Probably suck half the heads. What's the point of eating Crawfish if you ain't sucking heads

I can easily eat over 10 pounds and usually do when I'm at a boil at someone's house with unlimited crawfish.

If I'm at a restaurant I usually get 5-7 pounds and order something like oysters or calamari to go with.

A sack of large crawfish yields 4.5lbs of tail meat. Doable.

When my wife, my brother and I boil for just us, I buy 34lbs.

Wife eats four. We eat 15lbs a piece. With fixins.

Half a sack without batting an eye. I destroy boiled shellfish.

Depends on how good they are.

If they're mediocre I'm good for 3-5 pounds. If they're like my in-laws' crawfish, well.. 7 of us plowed through about 50 pounds of crawfish a couple of weekends ago.
