[@feurquiola9444]

You have a unique crab catching wire.Its much better thsn those ships catching crab.Much easier and in such a short time.Congratulations !! Do go on eith your business you will earn much.

[@garyyarbrough888]

Shallow water too

[@offduty170]

I’m in Maryland so obviously the rules are different here - I found this : You will need a fishing license to harvest blue crabs in the state of Florida. There is no size limit for blue crabs, but its best to let the smaller ones go. The only crabs that have to be returned to the water are egg bearing female crabs.

[@offduty170]

It doesn’t seem like you are worried about size at all ?? Where are you fishing out these crabs ??? I love some good crab for sure !!!

[@michaelsadventures4261]

Nice catch.

[@TaylorMF4]

Thank you very much!

[@Robertshouse-ms1om]

Is checking the sizes

[@augustwest5273]

Nothing better tasting than the blue crab steamed in an old bay style spice. Just had a few jumbos two days ago. Glorious meal. I see a lot of females don’t you throw some of them back?

[@TaylorMF4]

You got that right!!! Steamed blue crabs with a nice cold drink. I'm catching alot of females in my area right now. I scan the crabs visually and throw any pregnant or small females back. Trying to keep the breeders for the future generations.

[@peterk814]

It’s easier to count them after you take them out of the trap goog

[@hunnybunny1770]

Why did you break the claw off the stone crab?

[@TaylorMF4]

That is how you harvest stone crab claws. You snapped the claws off if they are of legal size and then you return the crab back to the water to grow the claws back again and again.

[@hunnybunny1770]

@@TaylorMF4Thank you for answering my question and educating me on this practice. I just discovered your channel and I love it!

[@offduty170]

Curious how long you let your traps set before you pull ‘em ?? Once a day maybe ?? I’ve only done crabbing off the dock with chicken necks or w/ a buddy on a trout line. Do you sell yours direct to customers or take ‘em to a store ???

[@TaylorMF4]

I pull the traps 2 or 3 times a week. I sell all my product to @goldenruleseafood . It's a fish market and restaurant in miami. If you are ever in the area, be sure to check it out.

[@richardkenae459]

THEY LOOK SO SMALL

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

I would think Maerrland of all States would have a size restriction. All the other States have a slot

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

Merry land has polluted the water so badly with Septic tanks and detergents nearly desemated the Crab and has entirely lost the fish population

[@jimmyfumbanks6081]

And they don't have anymore tax money because of Entitlements that it's people are probably going through like beer and dip.

[@shockertots]

We the people demand these videos to be uploaded in at least 1080p.

[@TaylorMF4]

Thanks for wanting better video quality. Higher video quality up to 4k are pending upload. Should be available in and hour or so

[@ralphaverill2001]

Very good video! Those little crabs are keepers?! Why do you break the claw off the stone crab before you throw it back?

[@TaylorMF4]

Thanks for watching. All the crabs I'm keeping are of legal size. The stone crab claws are taken from the crab and the crab is returned to the water to grown claws again and again. The keep the females because they are good eating crabs and are legal to keep as long as they are the correct size and are not egg bearing.

[@ralphaverill2001]

@@TaylorMF4 I never doubted the crabs were legal, they just seem too small to be worth the trouble. I remind myself that I worked on a king crab processing ship years ago so I'm used to soething bigger.

[@Yungtrapr]

Keep making videos please

[@TaylorMF4]

Thanks for watching. I plan on making many more

[@Yungtrapr]

@@TaylorMF4 awesome! Could you make a video explaining how you got into crabbing, what someone would need to do if they started fresh?

[@deborahdeclusin9389]

Females are keepers?

[@TaylorMF4]

Yes. You can keep female crabs if they are of legal size and are not loaded with eggs.

[@johnzawatwicz3867]

You had to throw a females back

[@chriscolfer2915]

Why would keep the female??

[@ebiker9248]

Does your state really allow the taking of both males and females that small? Unbelievable!

[@toneydriver3459]

If you cleaned those traps you would double your catch

[@TaylorMF4]

I agree. A clean trap catches soo much better. I clean them every few months. Stay tuned for a video of the before and after of cleaning the traps

[@toneydriver3459]

Which part of fla you in

[@TaylorMF4]

@toneydriver3459 south Florida. Just north of the keys. I fishing the heart of Biscayne Bay

[@ottoosmers9273]

Arr you comercal

[@thomasdavis3869]

Where are you crabbing it's not Louisiana

[@TaylorMF4]

I am in south Florida.

[@garyyarbrough888]

Chicken necks does the same cheaper $$

[@TaylorMF4]

I agree but they don't last as long. The water temperature is high where I fish and the bait is gone almost overnight.

[@stephenc2296]

This is the reason why they were fished out. Take his boat away.

[@toneydriver3459]

It won't be long those crabs will be gone they are all females and they head out in the fall they aren't fished out by any means

[@AlbertVieraFishing352]

@stephen you have no idea what you're talking about

[@2920ranger]

Too many female your keeping

[@lornemarsman7063]

No sizing ? What a farce

[@AlbertVieraFishing352]

There is no size limit in FL for blue crabs.
