When scooping with the net, I'd suggest already having the net in the water as you approach the crab, as much as possible. Crabs have very good eyes and they see the shaddow and movement of the net then the loud sudden spash will of the net causes them to let go of the bait and jump away. Crabbing is always tons of fun! Great video 👌
@@777sgiles If you put them in a cooler of ice, the ice will melt and the crabs will die in the water on the bottom. A wet towel on top of your basket to keep the sun off works.
Great job on the trot line! Before you cook the crabs there are 2 things you could do. One would be putting them in a cooler of ice water .That makes them easier to handle. Also cleaning them first makes eating them a lot better. You don't have the mustard to deal with.
Cute couple. Keep doing things that are exciting for both and you will last forever. Many couples, especially after retirement have hobbies away from one another and it separates the couple.
Brendon - You are truly the greatest outdoorsman of your era. I truly doubt that you will see this message, but I would be honored to share a tide with you some day soon.
My son and I were fishing there yesterday morning; glad to see you had a good run. A few weeks ago, the Severn was full of juveniles, and people were throwing back 20 undersized for every 1 keeper. Couple of things to add: an easy way to tell females as you bring the line up - females have "painted nails" - their claws are red, while males are all blue-green. Keeping them on ice does slow them down, but don't let them drown in the meltwater. Before cooking, always cull the catch for dead crabs - move a leg or lift the apron. A dead crab can spoil in as few as 15 minutes, and will not only wreak havoc on your GI tract, but can be deadly to those with weak immune systems. Never cook a dead crab.
im so jealous how you have such an amazing wife that comes iwth you fishing and is passionate about as much as you are. shit i can't even get my wife to get up early for anything :S
I feel u....its call lazy and I dont care about that shit lol thats what my wife said well at least its the truth smfh. I'd be like next wife please lol
Hey Skipper! I was a bit confused as to why you were checking the line so quick...then I saw the third crab come up 😮 I got up and started to cheer for more! Cool way to catch some dinner.
I know I am late to the party on this video comment, but it is awesome to watch ya'll work very harmoniously. Sometimes it is hard to have that compatibility, that level of teamwork. have been married now almost 17 years, and we dated for nearly 9 years before we got married. Where she is strong, I am weak and where she is weak, I am strong. Its amazing how that works out. As to the video, I LOVE crabs and I am happy to see the video on how to catch them and also how to cook them. Keep up the great work.
I love them steamed in garlic and red pepper. Then you take the left overs, chill in fridge overnight, and put them in a pot of tomato sauce. Let it simmer for like 2 hours. Serve over pasta. Bangin.
Wowww. Amazing. You are very lucky guy you have such a nice and cooperative wife. My wife doesn't get up to serve me breakfast where I go out for fishing. Crab fishing I have seen for the first time. Thanks and many regards.
Just found your channel! That was an awesome catch. My wife grew up on the Gulf of Mexico in Mobile Bay and they used trotlines to catch crabs back in the 70's and 80's! She said your video brought back great memories!
I love you guys. Your energy is awesome and I always look forward to seeing the next video. Down on the Texas coast we have a blue crab as well. When we were kids we were shown how to put the crabs to sleep. Flip them on there back and lightly rub their belly , it puts them to sleep. It was cool as a kid , but as an adult I enjoy catching them and eating them to. Be safe my friends.
I'm in M.D. with ya. This is how I spend my free time. Females have red claw tips. Easy to spot. Put em in bucket gentle as possible. If you break the points it will die fast. And your first crab looked like a doubler! (Big male holding a female) These are always the best crabs.
This is how we started crabbing years ago before we used nets. If you put you net behind the PVC, the crabs hold on as the line goes up and the pvc knocks' them off as they drop into the net. No "dipping" involved. The pvc would be lower in the water. * We used 3/4" galv. water pipe. Really like your idea with the shock cord/
Awesome video! You could feel your excitement when you were going through the trot line. I’ve got to get down to Guana Lake here in St Augustine and run a line.
Well done! Just one point! Put the crabs into the fridge for an hour or so, before you steam it! First, the crabs are sleeping and do not realise they got killed. Secondly, you don't have a mess to put them into the pan!
That looks like a huge bunch of work to set up, but wow what a payoff!! You guys made it look like a blast, as usual, too. This was a really fun video (even though I’m still nursing my recent blue crab injuries lol video on my channel! I was bleeding all over my kayak 🤣).
Thanks for actually following the rules for fish and crabs. When we went crabbing there was always more than one guy keeping females and undersize crabs. 🦀
When I was a kid, I visited my Grandmother in Maryland and she took me crab fishing. We use Chicken Legs. We tied them onto a cotton string and fished from a doc. You could see the Crabs move in and grab the legs. Once they grab hold they won't let go. You just lift them up off the bottom and scoop them up with a net, as you guys did. We brought back a batch of about 50 Big Ones. Ummm, Good Eatin.!!!
Make a cage with a chicken wire tunnel and place a can of pet food in the cage puncture each end of the can with nail or knife in several places allowing juices to leak out. Drop in water and check later! They love the cheap stuff!
Never used a trout line .......But we took crab traps and rope and milk jugs and empty jugs painted them a color tied on crab trap and dropped them like that individual it works great....we just wrap rope around jug when u drop trap it unwinds...gotta make sure it's open but it was fun ....and no special license or anything
I'm glad you got a lot of the tasty crustaceans. I used to crab off of my Canoe With my brother-in-law but now I crab off of a kayak . Just for reference I like to use Apple cider vinegar instead of white vinegar when steaming my crabs. I am glad that you enjoyed them.
When scooping with the net, I'd suggest already having the net in the water as you approach the crab, as much as possible. Crabs have very good eyes and they see the shaddow and movement of the net then the loud sudden spash will of the net causes them to let go of the bait and jump away. Crabbing is always tons of fun! Great video 👌
Quick tip, if u leave blue crabs upside down they will die and not taste good. Also in between runs put a damp towel over ur basket of crabs👍
What about putting them on ice? Will they still be good?
@@777sgiles If you put them in a cooler of ice, the ice will melt and the crabs will die in the water on the bottom.
A wet towel on top of your basket to keep the sun off works.
@@777sgiles I keep mine in a bucket inside a cooler full of ice
Any guy who can go fishing with his wife is a really lucky guy!!!
@xoxol0l be my guess.....fishing alone get scary hehe...catchem all....
Big facts!!!
I'm one of those girls. But I wasn't good enough for my wusband of 28 years..
@@jennyanimal9046 I'm sorry Jenny, but it is still a big plus for the next guy(s) you meet. Hang in there, you have a lot to offer!.
@xoxol0l where do you fish ? :))
You're one lucky guy to have your spouse share the same hobby with you!😁👍
We're awesome love the chemistry and joy you bring. If i am having a bad I watch your vids to cheer me up. Thank you.
Oh wow:) that’s so great to hear. We are happy to cheer you up!
I can relate
True...i do the same
I love how hands on Erin is. Great job guys looked like a heap of fun.🍻🍻👍👍🇦🇺🇦🇺

After a long day of fishing this what I needed to relax a 20+ minute video my lucky day .
Any women that fishes with you is a keeper! Great work together as a team you two! 👍

That was a fun video and the end

I'm fishing on a boat in Korea. Thank you for the good video.
Holy crap guys, that was amazing. I'm dying to do it now.
My dream run brother. Stay organized and eat like a king
Thanks for the memories!!!
I grew up on the Severn, and fished and crabbed that exact area many times with my late Dad.
So much fun. Great video thanks for sharing.

We do that all the time in Louisiana!! But we wade out in the surf! And the line is more like 200 to 300 feet. Great video!
You guys are so much fun.
Man you guys did a very good job fishing for blues. I bet those are really good
One of my favorite videos
Enjoyed the video as always.
