Chesapeake Bay Crabbing

[@budbundy364]

Thanks Capt Luke for taking the time to explain everything you are doing. You have such a great sense of humor don't ever loose it it keeps us non eating seafood folks coming back. Well the great scenery too.❤

[@stevecrawley5450]

I have been impressed with Capt. Luke as a hard working young man. Good luck and good fishing.

[@luccarpenter]

Nobody cares

[@Seedavis397]

@@luccarpenteryour a loser

[@charleswallace2080]

Capt Luke you truly are a very hard worker which is very honorable. I would like to thank you for showing us what you are doing and why on your boat. I had no idea that it was that much work and the method you have. Very impressive to me for such a young man.

[@TomRiddle-ww5on]

I grew up in MD, every summer/ fall family get together we had crabs. I'll be driving from WV (almost Ohio) to visit. Plan on buying crabs to take back with me. It's been 4 years,.... bless you guys!!

[@ADVENTURESOFBZ]

Brother I've got socks older than you but damn do you know your craft!!!! Absolutely incredible the knowledge you have at such a young age!!! Its all about working your ass off and GOD knows y'all do!! Love it bro, phenomenal explanation of what you and your crew do💪💪🤘🤘🇺🇲🇺🇲🇺🇲

[@stephenbru]

I love your channel!!..Thanks for taking the time to explain how a crabbing boat operates out on the water!! 👍

[@johnsimms818]

Great to see young men still in the business. The water can be a hard master and tough to make .good luck young man.

[@jimratliff2753]

You are your inspiration that hard work pays a wonderful dividend. Too bad more young guys like you aren't out busting their ass to make us a better country. You're a smart kid doing hard work and it's enlightening to see you do so.

[@theroadnottaken9378]

much respect Luke, you are a hard working guy and your crew as well with a very busy schedule and still find the time to edit and post videos, thank you very much. oh and a beautiful wife.

[@lindaorr1805]

I grew up around there. Lord I miss those sweet little critters ,use to go out in the marshes with my grandpa an just dip them up with a long pole with a hoop net on the end at the end of the day with another crew we would have enough to feed half the campground. We did that back in the 60s,70s family reunion at a KOA campground. Great work keep the faith Luke hard work pays off in so many ways

[@kevinroberts9580]

I used to work in Fredericksburg Virginia, And my employer would take us over to Maryland for all we could eat blue crab. Twenty five guys can put away a lot of crabs😂 I told my boss I wasn't going to go because I wasn't in the mood for crab. He said I could order whatever I wanted. When my steak& shrimp showed up, the other guys were pissed😂😅

[@anthonydevery3539]

This is the sort of video a hundred years from now an archivist will mark as noteworthy.

[@benbirkigt493]

Man you really put the work in that's awesome you should be proud brother

[@Sean-bp6xb]

Thx for sharing. Watching from Ontario Canada 🎉

[@sil0kin]

Why do all deck hands always look so fed up. 😂you Guys are doing an awesome job 💪🏼

[@Ty-fs9tp]

I noticed that

[@kokoyhawaii]

I was thinking the same thing. Throwing the pot w Lil attitude, moving around like life sucks...lol

[@anitadailey1114]

They seem to work well together.. hope they stay all season!!!

[@chrisbellissimo1680]

Love the way the info this kid gives, very cool

[@Rogers_Ranger]

My Family ran boats off North Beach Va , the fishery went bust and they went after blues, blue fish , and smoked . I'm extremely happy to see the blue crab fishery back but just 3 decades too late for my family/ Best of luck and Fair Winds ....o7

[@Spankylanky86]

You ever need a deck hand let me know.. I work 8 years crabbing,fishing and oystering the Potomac n Bay! Solomons island n Piney Point MD.. You got this! Steaming the pot after you bait it might be a problem.. taking the taste of the bait away.. But idk nothing! Good Luck brother.. stay safe out there!

[@garretdunn1197]

Awesome article in today's WAPO, Luke! Enjoy following you and wish you the best!!

[@silasbirchett]

It’s so relaxing to watch this

[@KerryMoles-c9z]

New to watching your videos and have found them interesting with a sense of humor. Have you ever considered having a raffle with the winner being able to spend a day with you and your crew actually crabbing. I know from watching that it would be a tiring day and maybe disappointing in terms of the catch, but I would definitely buy a ticket for a chance to experience it. Thanks for showing what you do.

[@dougwhite2897]

I've been watching you for a while and I'm still very impressed. Keep On Fishing 😊

[@LisaW802]

That was so informative and interesting. I've always wanted to go crabbing 🦀🦀🦀

[@fastback57deloach27]

I really enjoy hearing Luke explain everything. He’s a fine young man and captain! Wonder why y’all don’t have any music on while you crab?

[@ehhhh765]

probably yt copyright

[@kokoyhawaii]

Cause he's making a video

[@bigal1863]

Great video Captain! I enjoyed it very much.

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

Hey Jake love the channel buddy watching from South Carolina

[@Stolensouls69]

Great video... Good luck this year from Pennsylvania.

[@michaelwhiting668]

Capt I think you should write a a book on your life, it would definitely be an adventure.

[@geneparody7049]

Good luck to you I can tell you are in it for years too come 😊

[@bayardtaylor2990]

Love the second camera angles

[@johnhamilton9229]

If I lived near you I would come ask for a job. I’ve been underway in the Bering Sea. My wife would probably say no. You have great content. I hope your channel grows and actually brings in a buck or two.

[@KnifeCrazzzzy]

Love the facts man! Fascinating life.

[@stump182]

Thanks for sharing!

[@gypsycob1351]

[@davidkarr5015]

[@nikolauschiorgno5884]

[@chrishart2683]

[@dwightmaciv4789]

Luke for president of the United States of America 2024

[@michaelwhiting668]

Your job seems like science. You have to be pretty smart to command a boat and crew.

[@johnbrill1183]

Awesome video!

[@dr.strangelove7739]

Great content, Luke! I just found your channel and I liked and subscribed. The way you are producing your channel will ensure good growth. Keep it up and remember it just takes time and effort and you will get there!

[@methods-SE]

Welcome Brother, I am from Santa Cruz California. 😊. We know the fog

[@ziggystardink9389]

He is talking to the camera and you think he is scooting along till you see the buoy go by and realized he is crawling along.

[@outdoorswithtim.576]

Hey buddy I really enjoyed watching your channel I watch the Miss Paula and I look forward to hoping that you will make a new video soon. Captain CJ is quite the crapper

[@Blackford86]

You should put some sort of merchandise on your intro so you get a dollar and dollar there

[@davidloter5391]

For awhile I thought you were crabbing out of Louisiana...idk why...lol...great content otherwise bro. 💯

[@justing6594]

That crab was trying to spit on you bro! 🤣😂

[@danlamartina8583]

In order to stay active in the winter would consider oystering, I had a friend that used to dive for selects in the winter he said it made out pretty good. Also ever consider running charters?

[@bayardtaylor2990]

Great. Job. Luke

[@WayneTheBoatGuy]

Very cool

[@imherenow8]

How can anyone listen to that voice all day? 😮‍💨

[@joshwheeler3297]

I noticed you’re baiting, then dipping the pots in the hot water solution. Doesn’t that affect the bait?

[@kokoyhawaii]

So the pots are rebaited, then dipped in hot water? I guess that doesnt affect the bait. I would have thought it would mess up the bait.

[@Ubbnockshuss]

What would be the reason to load the pots before cleaning as opposed to after. You are getting soap on your bait.

[@michaelguy1125]

2 qustions i don't know if you will ever read this. Question 1: How long do you set the pots for before checking them? Qustion 2: i know, sounds stupid, but do you ever run into big sharks well crabbing?

[@davidpacker117]

New subscriber here. I really enjoyed seeing how the delicacy I enjoy so much in the first stages of bringing them to market. Could those big blue cats be used for bait also?

[@kevinmummert601]

Thank you for your amazing work ethic and teaching us. Just curious do you think putting the bait in before the hot water bath hurts the bait. Sorry if it’s a dumb question

[@COOPERSCICHILDS]

Coooool

[@robertdinicola9225]

Ours are full of conctete. They still run away.

[@rareform6747]

No Crying in Baseball & Crabbing !

[@Blackford86]

Too bad they’re empty Hope you get a full load

[@threeforkcreekoutdoors704]

Grew up on the bay

[@snookdock]

I will never complained about the price of blue crabs.

[@kennedydaniels1096]

Well oiled machine

[@michaelwhiting668]

Where do you get all that energy

[@tomstepp6945]

What is the hot water bath that the pots are dipped in?

[@Justwodie]

Wish i lived by the ocean😢

[@chrisbellissimo1680]

Still super early in the season - 2 more weeks and everything will change

[@hunterhuffey6622]

Need some shirts made for the boat

[@eastonadams7767]

Yo when ur season slacks up a bit if your interested in doing some trip fishing for lobster let me know 10 to 14 day trips alot different then with Jake but it would be good content for you

[@shawn2789]

You north of the bay bridge or near the twin rivers?

[@cristianrodrigues777]

FOR 🦀 USE 🐓

[@FVMissPaula]

GET TO WORK

[@caraanderson4411]

How many crabs do you bring in in a day?

[@kuzadupa185]

Why do some pots get dunked? In boiling water

[@tommalone8026]

Should you have some sort of Hazard lights for other vessels to be aware of your presence.

[@jdebell7068]

Tough job

[@BobLoblaw23]

I feel like luke would leave his current gf for hannah baron.

[@bayardtaylor2990]

50. Bucks. A dozen

[@BeenThereOverItNow]

Bro, come to the Oregon coast and try crabbing here!!

[@robertgoslin511]

Maryland boys make trot lines outta every thing! Damn crap pots hooked together??? What

[@bayardtaylor2990]

How old are you 22

[@shirleymae30]

The first, and most obvious problem i see is that you are cooking or blanching your bait, by baiting the pots before putting the traps in the hot tank. Your catch rates will definitely increase if you do NOT cook your bait.

[@shirleymae30]

Also, if you add at least one herring, pogie, or mackerel in with your shrimp head bait in your pots, I guarantee they will fish better.

[@walthampton6700]

Umm, yeah. I thought the same as well and I have even crabbed down here in NC but I know enough to know what I don't know. I am pretty sure Luke has it dialed in for the area he is crabbing.

[@Trev0r98]

FV: Just make sure your boat is powered by solar or wind turbine. wtf

[@davkirbyshorts]

Shit dude looks like ur crew are about to put you in the next crab pot. I’m not there but they looking pissed off if i’m not mistaken. My guess they get payed by the amount of crab you guys get or are they on day rate ?

[@elgato894]

can one even make any money anymore in your time,all the xtras, business,fuel,labor,added expenses etc etc etc ,why even do this,it seems one cost after another,good luck brother

[@jbgis]

Why is your guy baiting the pot and then dropping the freshly baited pot into the washer? It's washing all bait smell away. He should be washing the pot first and then baiting it. YOU WANT THAT STINK.

[@SkiffFish21]

It sucked setting with no music? Bad part about the tube

[@joshgrimm889]

How come you bait before you wash your pots?

[@Ty-fs9tp]

They were not happy about the camera

[@kenlynch6332]

⛴ ⛴ ⛴⛴⛴

[@boobear1907]

Always wondered how a captain finds his “crew”. Are these dudes you know from earlier, or mostly hired?

[@JasonDoan-c6t]

I love longlineing. Started my fishing career derby fishing halibut openers in seward ak

[@tomstepp6945]

How far up the creek are you from the actual bay?

[@TrevorsCrabs]

ever think about getting a commercial catfish trotline liscense and use the catfish for bait instead of shrimp heads...

[@kylekaiwi-benson8308]

Do you ever sell soft blues? And do you ship?
