Wow look at the cloud and sky reflection in the water! Beautiful! Why would someone dump all those crab??? They are all dead!

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Beautiful day and I was very disappointed to see all them crabs dumped. It gives us fishermen a bad name. Thanks for watching and hope you have a wonderful weekend.

I was out there that same day me my wife an son. Doing some crabbing an seen that same pile of crabs it pissed me off seeing that .

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I am with you. I hate seeing stuff like that.

[@juliemanarin4127]

He's mad because you interrupted his mating lol

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Lmao 🤣

[@98shon98]

That jumbo one was really mad because you broke up his mating session up with his female. When a male crab is holding a female underneath him, it is because she is ready to molt and mate. They do their "deed", then he continues to hold her under him for about 24 hours until she'd hard enough to go on her own. You shouldn't have disturbed him and his girl.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Great information. Thanks for sharing, and in the future, I will not disturb.

[@dimples2006chesca]

Where can I buy one like that traps?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

You can get them on Ebay or Bass Pro.

[@dimples2006chesca]

Where is this place?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Crystal River

[@98shon98]

Good tip about leaving the ice chest cracked a little. A lot of people don't do this and end up with dead crabs. That's probably what happend with that big pile of dumped crabs.

[@dimples2006chesca]

That’s sad

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

What's sad?

[@curtisstewart2190]

Wow that was really awesome. Hopefully this weekend i can get me one of those traps and try it out. I live in Brevard county and we have some pretty good places to go crabbing. Nice job my friend.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Thanks! I believe you will love the traps. I hope to have another crabbing video out in two weeks.

[@michaelstricklin4961]

That’s exactly how I cook them. Making me hungry.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

No better way my friend. Thanks for watching.

Great information. Thanks for sharing.

[@cerethaallen8564]

Where did u get the crab baskets that are on your rod/reels?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I got them on Ebay and at Bass Pro. Thanks for watching

[@jonathanmattson3640]

How do you tell between male and female

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

Look at the bottom of the crab. A male has a shape of a male private part and a females bottom looks Rounded. Also female crabs usually has like red-orange claws. You probably could google to see a picture. In my future video I will show the difference. Thanks for watching.

Unfortunately, I do not know the name.

[@oceandeepfishing4555]

Hello, there. This is the first time I've ever seen. That type of trap that you use on your fishing rod. Where do you get them from? It's interesting. Nice video I live here close to Crystal River. Pretty much do the same as you hop from one spot to the next until I find some.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

I purchased these off Ebay, but you can purchase similar traps at Bass Pro. Thanks for watching.

[@teresamerklin4614]

I've never cleaned my crabs before steaming.

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

That's just the way we do it. Seams like the meat has more flavor.

[@mike-ov9nn]

Where did you get your traps at?

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

You can get them at Bass Pro.

[@dericksingh3837]

Great I like you’re honest a perfect outdoor man

[@Fish-Man-Mike]

The ones at Bass Pro don't have the mesh to put the chicken in. I prefer them and use a zip tie to hold it on.

Those are interesting traps. I've never seen them before.
