Love your channel here in the Blue Ridge Mountains Of Western North Carolina! My little sister passed away on January 5th of cancer and we loved watching your channel together, your adventures always made her go to a better place and eased her pain, we was trying to save up enough money to get her some of your tee-shirts and apperal but the medical bills were just to much. I just wanted to say thank you for what you do and if you ever feel like what you do isn't worth it believe me it's worth more than you will ever know to our family. Hopefully we can come to Florida one day. Love you guys and thank you for everything that you do!!
So very sorry for your loss! My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family. 😢 RIP ♥️
So sorry for your loss 🙏💗 I'm in the Jonesville/Elkin area in the foothills of the Blue Ridge & love me some Blue Gabe too. I'm a Mountain girl at heart but that Florida life looks like a nice vacation for sure, lol.
Raven I'm from Elkins; but live in Mt.Airy! Keep up good work Bluegabe
God speed brother! To yourself and your family.
@@arvilcockerham6508 that's awesome! And a cool coincidence, i lived up in Ararat for 6 years, just outside Mt Airy & moved back here to Jonesville again about 2 years ago, lol! My Mom's family is from Elkin, Daddy's is from Jonesville. Sounds like we've got the makings to start an NC Mountains chapter of a Blue Gabe fan club here on this thread, lol 😂😉
It’s a lot harder than you think. I bought 10 traps this year. I’ve caught 6 crabs with two keeper claws at a cost of about $600 worth of gear and bait so far and that doesn’t even count fuel and my boat… maybe I’ll get the hang of it, but right now I’m at about $300 per claw!
If you’re not doing it for a “living” and just doing it to have fun…. It’s not about what you caught but more about the journey.
Love learning the business side of the industry. Its also a great look at where your food comes from and why it costs $. When the captain shares his profits with you for lunch, priceless!!
There's absolutely nothing better from the water than fresh stone crab claws cooked that day. Awesome video
Retrieved a “square grouper” from the jetty at port everglades in 1981. 😎
Yes, I know what a square grouper is I was raised in Homestead Florida. We used to see it all the time
That square grouper shirt is awesome.
Love me some Stone Crab claws👍🏼👍🏼👍🏼Great look into the workin side of gettin them. 👍🏼
i been to the square grouper many times in jupitor! I fish with Jim on country club charters! He is the man! We slay the fish their! Love your show!
I got a video I took of a large crab basket getting cooked and dumped in ice when I was in Tavernier. It's a crab operation beside Mar Bar. If you ever there gabe you should check them out. They're very nice and camera friendly.
It's so cool those claws come back..But a tough living..
I dip them in mustard sauce,not butter. I loved stone crab claws!!
There’s an amazing restaurant in Islamorada called The Square Grouper - that’s where I learned what that term really means - despite having grown up in Miami in the 80’s! 😁
Great video Gabe!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Friggin awesome brother!!! You should do all kinds of Florida businesses. Mullet fishermen, cattle folks, horses in Ocala, scallops over here on the west coast by me!!! Love seeing Florida life!! And I love living the Florida life!! Great video brotha, and Uncle Jimmy is da man!!
Another cool video. Thanks John from Wilmington, Delaware.
Thank you for all your content and for the not slept for the last 10 days you would not trade it for the world I am so envious of what you get to do day in day out... Hats off to you brother keep up the great and hard work!
Nothing better than stone crab one nice big bail of weed !!
Good Stuff Gabe!!
This video was tin out of tin!
Banger
Beautiful view 🎉😊
So he’s got$189.000 dollars in traps that’s insane !! 200k on just traps
196 k to be exact
lol use a comma not a period
I'm learning a lot from you Blue Gabe you always explain everything you're doing when you're fishing hunting thank you for all your good information I hope Crystal and the boys are doing fine and when are you going to marry Crystal
I wish EFC made boots in real mens sizes like mine, 17w Tell him I'd buy several pairs right now.
Square Grouper..... your killin me
I think the crabs are worth more then that Mexican square groupers!
Great video gabe as always. Question for you. I noticed they break off one of the claws and then throw the animal back in the water. Does the crab continue to live and will regrow the claw on the next molt?
Yes, they live and regrow their claws. Typically they will have a small claw by the next season. 6 months or so.
I happen to grow up on a shrimp boat in Louisiana down by Venice
Save me about 5 crabs. Please? Grin
I really enjoy the video Gabe!, 💙👍👊
In South Carolina you can only take one claw. This is so they can still protect themselves. In Florida is it different? Or is it ok because they are licensed to do so. Please clear this up for me Gabe. Great video keep up the BANGER content!!!
Florida allows both claws to be harvested provided they are of legal length. It's a 50/50 on those that take one or both claws.
Personally, I'll take blue crabs over a stone crab.
Both blue crabs as well as stone crabs are more flavorful if steamed. Boiling removes most of the fat in the meat. I remove the claws and sit them aside. Break the legs off the body, break the back fin for the large lump of meat, then pick the rest of the body. Once I get my fill, pick the claws and use that meat for crab cakes.
The last time I got stone crabs at a restaurant they were $65 a pound.
I would like to know if there's any "loss factor" for the buoy markers getting ran over by other boats. Is that even an issue, and if so, how does that work out??? Another great video, I really enjoyed it Gabe.
Oh yeah. You can lose traps from other boaters running over your buoys. Not much you can do about it though.
Only seen one square grouper floating on the surface..... That was a long time ago.
Love the shirt lol square groupers is drug bails that wash up
Im from and live in buffalo, aint nowhere in the world has better chicken wings! Y'all don't know nothing it's 10 out of 10 up here baby
Great video, gabe, I'm hungrey for crab... 😂
Crab is yummy... Haven't had any in years sadly
Plus insurance, federal regulations/ permits, wages. Ahh owning a business is so fun 😂
Loved the video can’t wait to watch the Texas video and what in the world is in Delaware? Ducks?
You can tell how hard these guys work 😊
I heading to Jimmy's website for one of those shirts and F that fire grass! That %#$&^ is the devil!!!
bet them crabs were like wth is this but i like it (pig feet)
A square grouper is a bail of weed!
Square grouper is a bale of 420 , mary jane , weed , marijuana . Older sister turned me on to it when I was 12, I am now 64
Some people don’t know stone crabs regrow their claws
How long does it take for the crabs to grow a new claw?
The light crab is a floater it will float.
Howdy partner 🤠✌️
Square grouper = bale of weed!!! lol
Delaware I’m from there born and raised.the first state
Would pig feet be good bait for blue crab bait in OBX?
Hey! Why don’t the crew use longer gloves to protect their arms?
How long does it take for the claws to grow back?
why are the runs of traps on thier own bouy instead of just a long trot line like lobstering up here in the north country for lobster
Imagine dropping a banks built Cummins in that boat at about 3k hp
Kilos of Peruvian blue
Whatup bluegabe
Damn beachy is in Delaware i wish I could find her 😍I live in Delaware
👍
I want to know what's a square grouper? Inquiring minds want to know.
A square bale of pot that a drug runner threw over the side or lost.
how the hell have you been awake for 10 days lol
@Bluegabe. Is there never a time or place where anyone eats their bodies? Are they even edible?
Sending you love from Russia and I don't care what politics do between us I love working American people.
Whatup bluegabe
Square grouper are green
Never heard of square grouper but have heard of a white lobster. You can retire coming across a few of those 😂
It has been 30 years since I worked on a commercial boat, and I can feel the fire grass burning as I watch this.
A kilo that washes ashore did I win
Lol i wish i was that lucky
Damn if only
The square grouper? That’s what I was thinking too hahaha
Hey there, Gabe, just curious how long does it take a stone crab to grow its claws back after they have been harvested?
1 year
And, sorry to put politics into this, but the labor, money and knowledge,,,massive investments in infrastructure to provide for the economy, (citizens), is amazing.
Now our federal government wants to mandate observers on every commercial boat, mandate the boat Pays for the government observer. Up to $700 a day!!!
Geez. These fishermen crabbers and the lobster people are going to be put out of business.
Hard working people and families being harassed by a pencil pusher.
We love everyone in the seafood industry.
I want some melted butter ready when the boat hits the dock.
I really appreciate these guys feeding our bellies!!🇺🇸🇺🇸. Vote wisely
If I were a commercial water-man and was forced into an observer, I'd build a 4X4' shack on the bow of the boat for the observer. A few days with 3-4 foot chop would be more than enough to not want the job. Leave the dock at different hours every day and make sure that any events the observer had scheduled, they'd be late for.
Nothing personal, well not that personal.
@@gungadinn yes!!
Chesapeake bay bowleys quarter md checking in
You should visit Apalachicola FL and go oystering I live about an hour away and they are the best in the world
If I remember, you didn't mention the crabs regrow their claws, they don't die.
In the late seventies I caught a half of a square grouper on pompano Beach it drifted up on shore. If I remember right it was about 20 lb I didn't have to buy any for a while lol .✌️
I literally just got me some stone crabs where I work at Vero Tackle and Marina. Started working there last week and drop the crab trap off the dock. Those stone crab I been getting have colossal claws! Intimidating!
Well done Gabe, very interesting video - those guys work hard for $220 a day. Got to admit I have never tried crab before but those look very nice. Look forward to the next one 👍
@bluegabe you need to come to Delaware with crystal this summer, we will take you flounder fishing
When you come up to Delaware, stop by Md this summer and I'll get you out to commercial trotlining for blue crabs!!
That was very interesting! I've never had stone crab...but if I do, I'll know exactly why I'm paying for it, those gentlemen work very hard. Thank you for showing us the inside and the work involved Bluegabe...excellent video!
Biggest ripoff in crabbing is the spread! Crab boat get 20$lb and we pay up to 75$ in the market. The guy that does all the work gets the least.....ain't right
Hey bluegebe What's up, i was seeing a video with Jimmy in Miami cleaning fish and one eagle come down and take fish. Was a cool video 😅
It's a great day when blue Gabe uploads a video. We are gonna go through Everglades and eat at Jimmy's place on vacation this year. I will tell him you said hello.
I have been in the Seafood business for years and you Can’t eat a Square Grouper!😂
I have a Smoker.😜
Lolol I have a pipe
Poor Gabe....crab stomach ache....we feel for you bro!!! (not so much) Love the video and those are insane expensive in Northern VA!!! $45+ per pound!! Have a great week!
I worked on a shrimp boat in Tampa Bay back in 84'.
Hard work for sure but I would not trade that experience for anything.
As they were building Gables by the Sea on Biscayne Bay, Many bales would wash ashore, and the phone line was going. Long before beepers and cell phones.
I used to know the phone number of everyone on my baseball team.
Those were the 5 finger 20.00 bags.
It was difficult to get the salty taste out of it 😂😂
Haven't been to Chock in a while but sure mis it looks like it's becoming another tourist dump. I remember Camilas when it fist open I had pompano
Plus the Grownups are in charge $$$%
Sending u Gabe and beachy squirrel much love! Your right gabe he dose look like forrest gump, run forrest run!
Doesn’t surprise me !! ANOTHER GREAT VIDEO !!👍🏼👊🏻and learned something as well .
them ol square grouper... man, they make you giggle a bit... maybe get the munchies ive heard. LMFAO. I love when you do these videos dude.
Awesome video Gabe ! Love crabs 🦀 and this video hit in the right spot. Thank you and keep up the good work.
Maybe someone who understands crab fishing can answer this for me. The fire grass that Gabe mentioned is ruthless. I take it that stuff is like a spine that can prick you is that what he meant, or does it literally sting you causing a painful feeling?
Awesome video
Where is my crab????
Yeah bluegabe where are crabs at...
Yeah there's a nutcatfish that Jake caught was an absolute monster.
hello Bluegabe & it's is Randy and i like yours video is cool & Thanks Bluegabe Friends Randy
16:50 A square grouper is a large package of Marijuana found floating in the ocean that someone is trying to smuggle.

Square Grouper is a bale of drugs
