Eating Whatever I Catch! BIG Blue Crabs from the Pier! (Catch and Cook)

Today we are heading out to the fishing pier! The mission is to EAT WHATEVER WE CATCH! I take you guys with me to go saltwater foraging for whatever we can catch! We drop down some crab ring nets with some chicken and try to find some BIG CRABS. Hopefully we can catch some keepers! I didn't expect this to happen..
Again, I want to thank each and every one of you for the support! At the time of this upload we just passed 529,000 I'm having so much fun making these videos, lets keep this rolling!

    I was born & raised in Mobile, Al. I grew up fishing & crabbing on The Gulf Coast. At age 11, I witnessed a “Jubilee” of crab. It was a small section of a secluded beach. We had crabs stored for many weeks. I have not ever forgotten that!

    I’ve tried all the crab traps and our favorite for blue claws is the square metal traps where all 4 sides fold out when it hits the bottom. We’d use both chicken thighs and bunker tied together in each trap. Sometimes when crabbing was slow, we’d leave the chicken and bunker in the sun for a full day to start rotting. Rotting meat always did better then fresh. I’m assuming it created a stronger scent trail that travels farther from the trap and attracts more crab. We also found that a 20 to 30 minute soak was best. It’s really hard to not check the traps every few minutes so my brother and I would bring a stop watch and a book. We’d read (mostly books about fishing 😀) to pass the time. That was before cell phones though. Now you can watch videos about fishing instead of reading books. 🙂 Good luck and I love all the episodes, with crabbing being my favorites.

    I like the crab videos a lot. On the east coast the blues are all we can get fresh crab wise. They’re delicious. I’d like to see you do a test. Put camera underwater and point it at crab ring, time and pull the trap in different increments. 5 minutes. 10 minutes. 15 minutes. See if they immediately come back. If they get on there quickly, get a bite and leave. Or maybe they take a long time thinking about it so a longer wait would be ideal. It’s truly a mystery you might could get a feel for. Be a cool video and might increase your crab count 🤘🏻

    You got a couple nice crabs there. What is the minimum size down there? Delaware is 5" from tip to tip of the shell. The darker crabs do have more meat in them, also when you see the white area on the back shell near the flipper that means they aren't as full. The water should be boiling before you put the crabs in and also not to deep, you want to steam them. A very good seasoning for crabs is when cooking with the shell on us J.O. #2 and when you do the clean before cook (CBC) use J.O. #1. #2 has flake salt and is two much salt for CBC and #1 is more like Old Bay but better. Most crab houses in De., and MD. use J.O. seasonings.
