As a blue crabber here along the coastline of New England and has caught hundreds of blue crabs from my kayak I can tell you those crabs don’t let go when they grab onto you. I use chicken wings tying the string at the mid joint and make a knot about a foot up the string from the chicken wing then another one a foot above that knot. The reason for that is when you see the first knot you know the crab is two feet from that knot. The crabs are smart and faster then you think. Always crab on an incoming tide which seems the best time to crab and I get good results. Thanks for the video

HUGE crabs! So interesting to see what is really down there! The ecosystem is so diverse! Thank you so much for going to the trouble of videoing and posting this!

I have to admit, I've always been too lazy to even look at how the entrance/exit to a crab pot worked. This was a fantastic way to learn that. VERY INTERESTING and different. Thanks!

We had something called the Newfoundland cod trap and it was about the size of a house underwater for catching cod. It had doorways you pulled up and a leader (vertical net) attached to land to lead the fish into the trap. A few years later, a Japanese fellow (I assume) improved on this by adding a cover on the top and a funnel, probably about 3X3 feet in width/height which kept the fish swimming around in the trap (they could always get out when the two doorways to either side of the "leader" were down. Fish just went around and around and never found their way out of that small opening. That was the pinnacle of technology for the Newfoundland inshore fishermen.

I don't know why the 1st crab didn't warn the others as soon as it realised it was trapped. I guess it is probably just shellfish

I kept waiting for the crabs to team up with one holding the trap open while the others escaped. That would have been something! Also interesting that it was obvious that even the simple minded crab knew it was trapped and was trying to escape....I almost felt bad for them....but then I thought of melted butter and well....

I went to school at the Marine Institute and they had a full motion deck simulator AND a tidal wave tank where they tested cod trap and net designs. They also tested drag bags which trawlers and draggers towed behind them. Because the catch started to contain juvenile cod and many older spawning cod, and the stocks were dwindling, the people at the Marine institute built a funnel chute with a "ramp system" to allow only certain sizes to get caught in the bag itself. In the back of the bag, the size of the mesh there allowed juveniles to escape. In the case of the cod trap, it was determined what mesh size to use in the back of the trap to allow juvenile fish to escape, as well. So you'd only catch certain size fish in either case. It was all by design. :)

Trust me, they're some of the most slippery, muscley fish you will ever attempt to wrangle back into the water. Super feisty, covered is razor sharp spines with toxins, sharp teeth and as I noted they're super strong. Just pure balls of muscle. Was extremely fun to catch them like that however, and everyone on the pier got a HUGE kick out of seeing it, and more so with my struggle to get them back into the water 😆. Even a ODFW officer wound up being present for the show and enjoyed himself too. One of my most unique and fun memories to date!

Probably a silly question. Are the crabs attracted by the smell? When you think of smells out of water, they are in the air. Thus, a exhaust fan in a bathroom is sucking odor saturated air out to carry the smell away. This is fascinating. I knew sharks could detect blood in water from far away. I guess I never considered crabs having a sense of smell under water too. Even the noises and sounds under water are creepy yet fascinating too. Thankyou. This is really interesting.

You should always start with two live crabs in the cage. All of that grinding and twisting on the cages from the claws is a unique sound. It seems to also help besides just the meat. The water may flow in one direction, so the scent might not reach many crabs. As opposed to grinding and twisting from the claw. I am not a crabber. I used to when I was a child and used a chicken leg on a string in brackish waters. With a net, I would collect them after I pulled them slowly in. I also had a 7ft. casting net and I would catch crab in those as well. Also stingray and sometimes flounder.
