I believe it means to reneg on a bet or agreement.

"I'd take that bet, crawfish, and then drill that old devil..."

Crawfish are good at scuttling backward. It means backing out of a decision, deal or promise.

To retreat from a previous position or promise. When threatened, crawfish walk backward in retreat.
