*plays calm relaxing music while the crabs are running in terror*
Lmao so true 😂😂😂
tom h hahah
tom h lmfao
The SpoilerMan dont show Trump this might give him an idea
tom h LOL
That is about enough fiddlers for me to catch 5 Sheepshead!!!
😆😆😆😆😆best comment by far
Right lol
😂😂😂 Facts!!
I know a few spots similar to this. I couldn't figure out how to harvest massive amounts for two decades. Why didn't i think of this? Glad I looked it up! Thanks for making this video! Now I'm going to see if i need a commercial license or whatever to sell to bait shops.
If you end up getting your license to sell these, hit us up! The Bait Depot in Port Richey!
These things are EVERYWHERE in florida for those hippies that are whining about over catching. These guys have a bait shop I believe.
Looks like you're in a helicopter watching buffalo XD
I JUST wrote that comment above, lol.
It's like the scene out of pirates of the Caribbean when the crabs take the ship to the sea.
I think it's fair to say they aren't threatened whatsoever
Hey wesley I didnt know you were into fishing!
No crabs were harmed in the making of this video. Each one of these crabs was given food stamps, welfare, college scholarships, subsidized housing, and cell phones, and released back into the wild.
Chris Lawson 😂😂😂😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣😂🤣😂🤣🤣
Racist pig
Even the ones with pre existing conditions!!
And given tickets to Disneyland and one pink shirt.
@@rhondagarland1540 No they weren't pigs, they were crabs. Says so in the title.
I suppose a horse, stetson and lasso would be no good for this.
siidfgpuzy
sadly nope
I was thinking - there was a part of it - forgot to get the time stamp - where it looked like film of some type of cattle being filmed from a helicopter.
So many crabbos! I never thought I'd see someone literally herding crabs like cattle.
I wonder if you could herd them with a quadcopter?
Wow! There are many crabs!
It is so nice!
Outstanding...I'm ready now!
I would just use a vacuum
Good idea
bad idea, it would take oxygen away and kill them almost instantly.
It would be like that one episode of adventure time, when those businesses guys were sucking up all those little cute fuzz balls, all terrorized
joe leahy they are gonna die either way, from being killed like that or for fishing
This looks like an excellent method for catching these crabs. But I bet if you got you a ten gallon Hat, a pair of boots, a couple horses and some Chewing tobacco it would significantly speed up the process and make it more streamline. You gotta watch out where you spit though you might take one of these little guys out.
Best comment on this video yet XD
best comment of 2016 or 2015 lol
iz Zz ii
Lmao
Hey friend. I grew up in Tampa, and really miss the fishing. Catching those little buggers like the way you are doing it is smart.
Holly Molly well done my friend TY for sharing
You know theres alot when the camera fps drops while looking at the middle of them all
I'm sorry to say but the video is DIZZY to watch.
Great video guys
Wow... !!! My best friend, Great... We liked and enjoyed to the end. Thanks Have a happy day!
Wow so many of them. Do you eat those?
No they are for fishing
+mac777daddy go fuck yourself
+mac777daddy go tell ur mom. hahaha bitch
+mac7
+mac777daddy REKT
Why didn't you put several small buckets lining the poles?
Alex Miller they could only afford the 1 bucket.
Awesome I absolutely love the way you were herding them up maybe I can do that with my children
This seems to have worked out all right, numberswise.
lol that is 1 of the coolest thing i have ever seen lol all those crabs.
Very cool!
I would have to eat 1000 of these to feel like I've eaten a bag of vending machine potato chips
+John J They're bait, not food.
Nojuan Especial you really don't have a sense of humor
@@AnonymooseWasMyName bait for what?
@Nojuan Especial you can also eat them straight, even if they're not cooked.
Ikr crabs offer little meat and you have to get through all the shells, but at least they are very tasty with rice drizzled in coconut :)
So freakin surprise that there weren't any birds in sight.
There are much easier meals than a pinchy crab
Where in Florida do you find fiddler crabs of this abundance these days? Back in the 60's I saw them, but not lately especially in the Sebastian Area.
Fiddlers used to be thick like this near Ponce Inlet. We buried a shallow plastic tub and herded them just like this. I don't think there's a hundred fiddlers in Volusia County any more. Where was this video made?
More crabs than my ex!
Not if you include your mom, sicko.
Savage
Whats up with the relaxing music?, I felt asleep 3 time in less than 2 minutes.
I love fiddler crabs! Not to use as bait, but good to hold when your at the beach or at snorkeling sites!
I see you have an impatient friend lol. Good vid man.
If Texans had made this it would have taken about 2:00 minutes
Rick Sanchez how did you escape the galactic federations prison?
lampoonzy games! None of your business.
Rick Sanchez did the moonmen help? Maybe Mr. Poopybutthole? And now thanks to you sir the Galactic Federation has been ejected from Earth, the Gromflomites are still working with Tammy, Beth and Jerry are getting a divorce, and Birdperson is alive (sort of). Tammy and the Gromflomites have created a Frankenstein, undead Birdperson which now calls itself “Phoenixperson,” and that creature is apparently loyal to Tammy. "Wubba lubba dub dub motherfuckers!"
Rick Sanchez your cool as fuk
wub aduba dub dub
Problem is, I've never seen so many on flat ground like that , nor away from their holes that they quickly run to.
yeah I agree, in my places, there is always a hole next to each other and these crabs always doing their stuff next to their hole so.. I couldn't use this tactic lmao
Ive seen it a lot and at low tide they get hot and go down to edge of the water,ten minutes your done,go fishing and your not sticking a stick in a hole or digging all day,these guys doing it smart
That's incredible!
hey man this is awesome, we do have sand flats like this in texas but never venture to them but i have seen small holes in the water area, are those the fuddler crabs ? how did u stumble upon a group like this and what month was it. thanks 👍
I did this about 15 years ago, On a much smaller scale (Coffee Can and 2 rod holders) Great video but the music was annoying, We would rather just hear the commentary.
you should try a large shop broom to push them in.
Corbin Hills that could injure them and lower their value and would be less humane but if u dont kare about being humane could wotk well
Aaron Ransdell nah they need a sheepdog yo
How did you get so many of them out of the holes at the same time? I've caught a lot at night but not many during the day.
Loved it. Great video. So how many crabs are is a 5 gal bucket?
Is there a limit to how much u can catch ?
Yea as much as you can before the police come
xD
😉😉😂🏆🏆🏆🏆
A bit of over collecting unless you are supplying a few bait shops
Its called harvesting, and you can freeze them.... for the winter fishing months...
ShrimpNFishFlorida
Vince Russell lmfao
I was rabbit hunting with my father one day and he told me that when he was younger he would go out and get 60 to 90 rabbits in one hunt run.....I said to him, thanks cause you left fuck all for the next generation to enjoy or harvest. He gets it now!
wow this is really interesting, I have never seen this before
That's got to be alot of work peeling those crab legs. You would never get full.
Yea they do. I was just kidding
will collecting this many crabs hurt the food chain or something? feel like you guys are collecting too many for fishing
+Jiyong Han Using my knowledge as a Florida native, fiddler crabs can replenish their number in a rather short amount of time compared to other kinds of crabs. I'm not sure about the actual numbers and dates but I think even after all they took the population should be back up in a couple months. Plus did you see how many of them there were? He took 2-3 buckets and there still a huge number of crabs left. At $300 a bucket that whole horde is probably worth $2,000. Leaving enough to repopulate ensures you can get much more than two grand over time, though ;)
Well done!
i like the music.. so relaxing...
How do you all get access to the area you catch the crabs? Also, I think your friend would have much better success at "herding" those fiddlers if he used a shop broom rather that a sand flea rake. ;)
Yeah. Also no point damaging ones u aren't going to take, lowers the numbers for next year if damage breeders.
can't finish this video...i got dizzy
Edna Rodriguez stop spinning around then
Edna Rodriguez ya bad idea to try watch a video and spin at the same time
OMG amazing!
Pretty cool. Where is this and when is it?
Learn how to hold still your camera
learn how to a sentence construct
2 whole minutes of black screen.......
Have you tried making a pvc T and using it as a rake?
Wow there are so many of them! :O
I can not see
I couldn't do this Cuz I would end up keeping them all as pets lol. I love the little crabs I have 3 of them right now!
It so satisfying to see how many there are and so easy to get!! What beach are you at???
Beach sheep. Good video, Thank you.
This is how extinctions happen. Lol
holy crap... 600 bucks per bucket? thats an easy livin right there!
+A Giz For fiddler crabs? You bet your ass there's a demand for it. It's a great bait in Florida for catching all kinds of things. Especially sheepshead, a very delicious fish. Some people grind them up and put them in cheese cloth for chum when catching live fish for bait with nets.
+Gillan Laureth of Seles you talking about his penis?
ThePolishSusage ...the fuck are you talking about?
+Gillan Laureth of Seles okay so... enough with the penis, even though it is a great discussion I must restart this convo... so fiddler crabs ARE worth 600 a bucket like he said in the video? Yes no? Gillan Laureth says yes.
Max Savino I don't know if they're $600 a bucket but they are valuable and there is a demand for them in certain areas of Florida. I think the guy in the video said $200 a bucket and they got 3 buckets so $600 total. Too lazy to watch it again lol.
This is oddly satisfying. 😆
amazing!!!!
.....uh...bad video'ing.....endless moving, its dizzy 'ing, no part 2 for us!
This is satisfying but cruel
Bloops Floops by seeing those numbers I guess there are more than billions of them so it really isn't cruel they are bait for fishing, that if you know anything about fishing.
they take them home and give them leg massages... they are polite to them
holy crap....crab....lol nicely done
Cool vid
So this is how Mexicans are getting over the border jk hehehe.
Didn't even make sense
Come on crabs! Overpower those human predators! you can do it!
***** so you're also stealing food from poor little birdies and fishies!? EVIL!! :p
*****
Real-time "circle of life" isn't it. Not to mention anglers being able to play "Florida style" cowboy roundup types! Get along lit'le crabbie!
wow... thats a lot of crabs. nicr vid.
Good job
Ya good job but not cool if you keep that up you're depleting the stock for the birds and other wild life ! I'm a fisher man two but come on man just to make a buck $$$ don't be so greedy I'm sure you're doing Damage to the environment and food cycle ! Money is the root to all evil we will kill anything to make a dollar take this into consideration for your kids .God only gave you one earth it's up to you what we do with it .
phishinfool The saying is "The love of money is the root of all evil." It is a Bible Verse.
phishinfool one word. WHY?
phishinfool If you think this is putting things out of balance,just look at it this way....Obama is letting way more Illegals in than you see here in Crabs to take your food and jobs, You have been listening to too many tree huggers. Wake up!!!!..... and learn to use the word "too" instead of "two". How many Fish and Fiddlers can 5 Million Illegals eat?
Hugh Valentine Leave it up to a conservative to politicize EVERYTHING.
Jungle Bobo Nah man. Liberals do it too. It's just the idiots of both sides that do it constantly.
I am no hippie but aren't these spawning crabs, don't they live in the ocean and come to land to spawn, Would it be a bit more effective to find an after spawning catching technique. They have to return to the sea at some point, most likely the same way they came in. Just sayin , cool video though
Actually, the fiddler crab is not a species that spends its life underwater. Fiddler crabs commonly live on land and also have the ability to survive underwater.
the larval stages of this animal spends its time deep in the open ocean but they come back to land in their adult stage and do breed on land twice a year with each female capable of generating thousands of offspring each time.
saw those at a pet store, when I was a kid. been lookin for them ever since
Those things are delicious also when deep fryed you can just crunched up the shell and all.
i understand why we are killing everything on this earth
Me 2
legba eshu the nature of man period.
if thats the case the why do i feel like you also drink and eat?
+legba eshu So it's only white men who can be greedy?
I'm a white man and im poor as dogs shit but I'm willing to share it with you since you logic is dogs shit too!
I'm all for bait gathering but why take so many? There must be a catch limit on these crabs.
No not if you are supplying a bait shop
wow, were they all just randomly strolling down the sand when you found them or did u dig them up?
so I have the opportunity to do this this summer In cape cod mass is it just for the bait and is it good value if not I'll just have fun with them like always they are awesome
I understand that these guys want to go fishing and all. But I mean 5 gallons worth of fiddler crabs is way more than enough. I don't think any of these people took into consideration how long it will actually take to use all those Up as bait. I see people doing this kind of thing all the time with fiddler crabs. It's inexcusable. There should be some law that allows only like 10 crabs per person.
They're collecting them to sell at a bait shop. There are quite literally millions upon millions of them in any area such as this. If the population was in danger or it was effecting other species, there would be regulations on it. Also, 10, seriously? 10 will maybe last you maybe and hour, much less of you're actually getting bites.
Andrew Mross the sell them
Andrew Mross they are supplying a bait shop for people to use them for sheephead.they do this to make a living,out of everyone there the people that want the fiddler crabs to stay at a sustainable poulation for harvest. Because without fiddler crabs they can not make money.
Andrew Mross I agree
Well fuck you and fuck your laws, bootlicker!
See, this is what the aliens are doing to humans. Letting us populate and they harvest our flesh and technology. The universe is one giant hell.
do you use it for fishing?what are the targeted species?
Nice method. I don't need that many at 1 time but I'm not supplying a bait shop. Looks a lot faster to collect 30-50 quickly to go steelhead fishing than chasing all over the beach
IDK why people feel entitled to go onto the beach and steal an entire massive colony of one of the native species.
Does it really matter?
JowTown Yes
JowTown The food web is a delicate thing
+Blake Hagar do you see how many there are it wouldn't really make an impact
ReVo Nyro one guy doing this once no. But i'm sure hes not the only one doing it, let's be real. Over fishing/hunting is a thing no one can doubt that. It's no single person who does it, but when everyone does it, it messes shit up.
i saw hundreds of those today at the beach in pasco FL, so sad to see this gentlement killing so many at the time :'( they were super cute,,
Not exactly gentlemen then
They are super cute I own 2 of them as pets. 😁😁😁
thats pretty cool, i love saltwater fishing, but here in WI we can only fish for king salmon, rainbow trouts, brown trouts etc in lake michigan for the closest thing to saltwater(ish) fish
why was this so satisfying
Your taking food from the wildlife in the area.
Candace Vaillette fiddler crabs clean the beaches.
Candace Vaillette
fiddlers are an invasive species that cause more damage to the environment per habited area than humans do. those large patches of missing reeds and dry sand are cause by those land nuggets.
Pacific Gull I am sure after thousands of years those little crabs have been doing there job just as Mother Nature intended. Now along comes man and decided that they're destroying the beaches.
Candace Vaillette you know if you think about it we are animal's and mother nature created us too it's just humans are a big population and self aware
If you want to be an environmentalist then be an informed environmentalist. Do you even know anything about fiddler crabs? Do you know if they're invasive, what other wildlife eats them, if fiddler crab population is in danger, or if there is plenty of other food for that wildlife besides fiddler crabs? National fish and wildlife service pays attention to those things because they're informed.
This is mean
are they hook baits or for some sort of pot fishing ?
Wow...that's amazing. What part of florida is that?
1God1Msg ...In my opinion...the Greedy part. 😢
You kill the Nature !
I totally disagree with what you doing.
Why?
gabrieltavares18 its called bait for fishing and it will all be used
No one cares
Me to I didn't like it
Me too
Nice music, where did you get it from?
very nice
Wow so many 🦀s
Do you freeze them? It would take me at least a year or two to burn through that many.
the lucky ones jump over the pipe and probably shout out loud, ''woo hoo I made it out''. lol
can you find these anywhere in Wisconsin?
