A few of the big crabs you dumped in the bucket sounded like they knocked the bottom out of the bucket!! Big beautiful crabs make for a big beautiful supper prepared by Chef Joyce. Another great video by my favorite couple. Well done Sam and Joyce!!

[@bigrickie1977]

Hey tsm crypto im gonna head down to Sargent tx in 2 weeks. Are any crab running around and do you have any advice?

[@TexasScratchMan]

@@bigrickie1977 Get soe chicken legs and string just like they are using, and find a spot along oneof the water inlets going through sargent and throw some lines in. I would try to get as close to the coast as possible, but not in the surf. Lots of crabs always here!

It's a good spot but they're smart crabs they won't go into metal ring traps we're going to try the cotton traps.

Nice shad, Are season is may for about three weeks are limit is six. Willow leaf and shad darts. Thanks for the video still in the twenties in Connecticut.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

Thanks. Here in Florida the limit is 10. I usually troll with my homemade shad darts and sometimes catch them flyfishing. Thanks for Watching our videos

We will show their size in a upcoming video

[@steveperry9304]

I’m still picking my way through your back catalog of videos. This one was pretty cool. Like y’all said, you wouldn’t think a tiny little pocket of water would be productive for crabbing, let alone the size of those ones. They were nearly all monsters! p.s. - Sam and Joyce… if y’all ever feel the need to adopt a 44 year old son, I’m available. I don’t want money or anything …. Just want to get to fish and crab with y’all, and get to eat some of Joyce’s delicious-looking cooking! Lol 😜

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

They were monster crabs. I think we're getting a little old to adopt but we'll think about it lol

[@alicepellerin5026]

That’s a great mess of crabs 🦀 Sam and Joyce! Yay secret spot 😘😘😘

Makes me want to sell my place and move to the coast lol, I won't for sure because of family and friends, jobs etc but I do love to crab and fish! I get to camp at edisto about four times a year but I can't seem to fit enough crabbing and fishing into the time I get to spend there. I love your videos even more because y'all are older folks enjoying life, I'm one too:)

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

I've never been there but I heard it is nice. Hope you're able to do some crabbing soon

[@mariacambre8971]

Joyce & Sam, those were some beautiful crabs you've got there. don't tell anyone where that spot is and you'll always have that for a rainy day!!! I really enjoy crabbing with both of you. You always make me feel like I'm there with you. GOD bless you.😻

[@matty6848]

Hi guys when you catch crabs in America do you have seasonal limits on size and amounts? We can catch clean and cook crabs in our seas in the UK, but during breeding season in the winter months we’re not allowed to catch spider crabs, so effectively allows harvest for future breeding stock and numbers. Same with Lobsters. Our common brown crabs we can pretty much catch all year round and they get too some real big sizes, Especially their monster claws which are delicious.

[@TheOldCoupleOutdoors]

In Florida we can catch Blue Crabs year round with no size limit. We have a Stone Crab season from October to May, you just keep the claws. Thanks a lot for Watching, Matt

[@matty6848]

@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors right thought so. Yes the blue crabs seem plentiful lovely that you can catch them all year round. We had limits on what we could catch but that was due to those stupid E.U regulations that quite frankly don’t make any sense, but since we voted Brexit and left the E.U and it’s control hopefully Britain can start thinking with common sense again and allow us to crab fish all year round. The British seas are super rich and plentiful with fish and shellfish stock too the point our commercial fisherman had to pour tons and I mean literally tons are perfectly edible fish/shellfish back overboard because they caught more than there quota. All this in a economy where folk are struggling too survive financially and our fishermen are literally throwing fish stock back in the sea!?… utter madness, but that’s the E.U for you, so you can imagine why we voted too leave. It would be like the Mexican or Canadian government in a union telling you as American citizens and fishermen how much you can catch. Sure you’ll agree it’s madness.

love the videos. one problem that I have up here in VA is the snapping turtles. when they are around they will debone the chicken extremely fast. they will make the hand line jump crazier than a hungry crab. they never stay on the line long enough to see them below the surface. i have caught a couple in my ring traps though!!

Thank you, we've caught turtles in Mississippi also in ring traps. Thanks a lot for Watching
