- Ever wonder what happens on the ocean floor when you drop a crab pot hoping to catch dinner? Well, watch this and you will see. The sandy ocean bottom is teeming with life in all shapes and sizes. This crab pot is at a depth of 25 feet with the tide rising for two more hours. Enjoy! More videos @TanagirlAK
Little late to the party but, I learned that crabs are pretty smart they all made it out except for Big Bill who spent 10 min trying to figure out how to get in….
Fascinating watching all the fish and sun stars!!
Thanks 2023!! 🦀🐟
Thanks for giving us a view of what happens down there. This is cool! I wish the Deadliest Catch tv series would do something like this.
Did anyone else notice at 17:33 you see a true homie of a crab giving his buddy a boost up to the bait with one claw. Now that is brotherhood.
Haha, the first crab trying to saw through the bars.
PhantomPowerSC is that the noise at about 3 minutes?
Lol he sure tried
he should have called his friend the sawfish....
Love all the awesome sunflower starfishes. It appears to me when the food was at the bottom they had to come into eat and was easier to eat then hanging upside. That one pot I watched, yes I watched another pot, it had it on the bottom which made more sense. First nothing could eat it unless they came in, when it’s on the top it looks like anything could snack on it from the top and never come in. Also when it was on the bottom the amount of crabs and fish chowing was amazing. They all wanted a piece and could climb over each other vs more limited space when you have to hang. Just an observation. I would just put the food cage to the bottom and not the top and do a experiment. Just seems more inviting to crabs, because everyone wants to be where the crowd is, and it everyone is hanging from the top no one will see them. Want those crabs to have fomo!
Great job, nicely done, thanks for posting!
24:18 crab on left: ‘’The name’s Crab, Mr. Crab.’’
[shakes hand with what ever that thing is]
Lmao
Nice
It's a sunflower star.
14:45
Crab: A Camera? Hi there. Get me the hell of of HERE!!
Andy Hua lol
Hjeckydell8 lol
Better than any reality TV show !!! Totally watched until the end.
This is what I have been reduced to. Watching crab pots soak. Well - I grew tired of watching grass grow, so maybe it's progress of a kind ...
+whynottalklikeapirat you should try the paint drying channel
grimheathen
That sounds completely awesome and almost incomprehensibly action-packed
+whynottalklikeapirat Bob Ross is what you need.
MisterZhivago WheelieMaster YOu made me know what bob ross is. I shall never forgive you for this. It is now irrevocably part of my mental life.
"maybe a happy little crab lives right here. don't worry if it doesn't turn out as a crab, make it into an octopus. or just paint over it. do whatever feels right." -The late great Bob Ross (but more about trees and clouds than crabs)
Absolutely a fascinating watch.. Would have loved to see the cage brought up and opened. Thanx for sharing! :D
The beautiful scenery behind you, deep breath in, love it
5:42
Fish: ooooh! What's that? *bumps* oh... nvm.
thanks for the video I enjoyed it very much
What a cool video, thank you for that.
Good video..thanks !
Cheers from SOUTHEAST ALASKA .
Thank you, Brett!
The one crab in the beginning was so determined to get in through a corner XD
As already commented, Deadliest Catch never showed this. And they have more camera gear than anyone. This is so fascinating. I never realized how smart they are. Makes me feel bad when people drop them into scolding hot water and boil them alive. I imagine they feel every ounce of that pain. I remember living in FL and we cooked crab. You could literally hear them scream when they hit the boiling hot water
very nice video, great sharing!
Crabs seemed freaked out by the starfish like eww gross I don't wanna touch it😂😂😂
Best thing I ever seen...thanks.
14:35 Crab: "Why human, why hath you do this to me? Why human? I do not understand!" Fish: "He's a dumbass!"
Darien Striz lol
thank you for uploading this, i know that life in the ocean floor is quite busy but never seen a scene like this...
This was oddly satisfying to watch.
the first crab had me laughing my arse off 😂👌
Still more exciting than an episode of Deadliest Catch.
good stuff. a little bit of UFC cage fighting too.CRAZY CRAB VS STARFISH.
please make a few more videos. they are actually therapeutic to watch. LOL
15:38 the fish tried to eat the camera LOL
The larger and very curious fish in the video are Sculpin. The flounder-type fish are either baby Halibut or another fish we call Arrow Tooth, which look similar to Halibut but are not as tasty. Of course, the crab are Dungeness crab. The star fish are actually sun fish. It is amazing, and annoying, how sun fish can squeeze into the small opening of the crab pot.
Oohs I thought that was a starfish but it's a sunfish
The fish at 15:50 was Beautiful sight to see it's so pretty
31:11 it was back not the same fish but same type of fish
Shelly Berna im sorry but dont you mean sun star. the sun fish is the mola mola
It's actually a sun starfish but locally we call it a sunfish.
*CRABS LIKE "HEY CAN YOU GUYS LET ME OUT NOW?"* @ 14:44
The crab in the beginning is me on Monday mornings.
Nice. You just got yourself a new subscriber here.
This is how i spend my time that i could be doing something productive
Great up close of the fish while the crab headbutts the corner XD
'Flat-Fish' - always first on the scene !
i like how them big ass star fishes where like dont mind me ima just be the carpet
Very cool video ! Liked and subbed
The starfish was like: fk! I came here for crab food, not to be the food of crab!!
What I learned about this video is that crabs are very stupid
SonofRiggnarok Not that one crab at 28:15
Sebs17 holy crap. He said " fuck this"
Mouses are more dumb
SonofRiggnarok well, crabs pretty much don't have a physical Brain, soo
But oh so tasty
I don't know why this is so satisfying...
lol that one crab at the first bit of the video....did he not go to school when he was younger? or did he have something against the corner of the cage?
Belatedly, Big Toni realized he was trapped with a few very unsavory multi tentacled monsters. All his friends were gone... he had never felt more alone. Making matters even worse, the tips of his left claw were suddenly itching.
28:49 - Yay! - Its like 'escape from Colditz'! (I ALMOST CHEERED!) . . . . I'm so Sad !
Idk what it is but I love watching videos like this it's kinda like zit popping videos just cant stop
First crab is using the corner to scratch his back! Lol 😂😂😂😂
what was that crab doing? having a nice scratch! 😂😂
5:40 this fish made me laugh 😂😂😂
That's so cool
The sounds of the crabs walking around put me to sleep quick!
Thumbs up for crab impression 10/10 pinchers and nice murica shirt mister
Lol for the first crab I was thinking. " Doors to your right, dumbass :)
First Crab: Swingy swooty gonna get dat booty! Fish: Bruh use the door.... -_-
the fish is showing them the way to do it, so clever :o)
Thank you for wonder VDO
omg so cool! Underwater exploration drones ftw
Wow that first crab - I had NO idea they were so fast and SO strong. That crab really breaks out some muscles trying to get in through the corner. I guess crab meat IS muscle and lots of it - they look strong as can be.
Very satisfying results...
awww i wanted to see pull it up and see all the starfish 😭
Oneday i'm going to vlog catching crab and fish..i like this adventure bro.
It's like a slow motion hell in the cell match.
What’s the deal with the sun fish. They get in and just lay there? Crazy. Love the video!
looks like a co-op... lol thanks for posting
Looks like Mushmouth's hat from Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids cartoon show found its way into the pot.
28:15 - 28:51 The crab succeed on escaping through the hole what a smart one
Seems like an inefficient design if the crabs have a difficult time getting in.
Quality over quantity, only the strongest get in. Perhaps you can pause and think before you comment next time.
@@johnbartlet8444 Calm down were all watching crab pots soak we didnt come here for conflict
@@justsomeasshole7388 OK, I guess you can get on with your life now.
@@justsomeasshole7388 totally not the wholesome comment I expected from your name
very good video
That first crab is a huge dork lol!
looks funny when you play it at x2 speed. also quite sad. when the crab managed to crawl into the cage it looks like he was frantically trying to find a way put. when he was outside it looks like he was using the cage as a back scratchier.
This is like watching the characters of Big brother
#StupidCrab
18:38 Creepy Assed Starfish
Mr. Lingcod Returned To The Crab Trap When A Sea Stars Take Dinner Away They Eat... EVERYTHING!!!
Almost seems like they implied a wee bit of teamwork and communication XD
That starfish was hella cool
I think the crab had a mental breakdown😂 what was that? Tryin to rub his shell to get in😂😂
I somehow love this video very much. The huge starfish is scary.
Wow this was such a COOL IDEA
heh - oh I see one just showed up
19:12 That's one interesting looking starfish! I'm used to seeing the generic 5 arm (or is it leg?) starfish! Amazing how evolution makes these things!
It might be a sunflower sea star (star fish). It is one of the largest species of star fish to exist. They have more limbs than a regular starfish.
Super late to the party! I was shocked how long it took the crab to figure out how to get in. Caught pretty much everything but crab LOL. And one even escaped.
But it’s like all the movement the crabs make when they smell the bait attracts other crabs to see what all the fuss is about! I love crab, but lobster, shrimp and oysters are my favorites!
That fish swam up to the camera like "Dafuq is this!?" (Bump) "oh shit!?" (swims away)
cool,
greetings from germany
Build the same kind of thing with 2 layers of screen door mesh (one on the inside and one on the outside), and include a few thin slots for some fish to get through and you could fill that basket with fish in less than 10 minutes.
Tommorow my physics exam and I'm watching this 😂😂😂
We could learn so much from crabs.......about free stuff.
Fish at @6:00 is like "what cha looking at"
9:44
*CTHULU HAS BEEN SUMMONED*
Cool
Are those stingrays? They are so cute!
those sea stars are the stuff of nightmares
That crab needs a back scratcher
Lol i know right
One of the crabs got away through the round opening!
+Lord Byron i think that is a regulation for some areas to have the round hole that will allow small enough crabs out but keep the regulation sized ones inside.
What did you use for a camera setup? Did you have a light rigged in the camera?
No light rigged. The camera was simply tied to the crab trap.
That one crab on the left squeezed through the circle at 28:30 and finally gets out at 28:57
The way the star fish get in is creepy and how is there already three of them lol
Shantal ❤️🌸
After all that time I be like damn that it ain't worth it 😂
First Crab : Let me in Foooooooood
Is that a surface speaker or on the bottom with all the creaking? Nice video reminds me of Charlie White's work in the early eighties. Doug
The GoPro is picking up the sound of the crab rubbing against the pot. There was one crab messing with the camera from behind :)
Shelly Berna what go pro is that the 2 because I might get it. I love those water sounds it makes and the crackling.
This squid dabbing on a catburgler sceen
LOL @ 33:10 "And then there was one!"
