[@iainleverton5510]

[@Trojwaterman]

A friend had this one and we had a couple of smaller ones the next lift :)

[@thecableguy1128]

How did Rebecca like eating it? 😂😂 Did you get to eat any of it? 😮😮I know you had a good fight with her about who’s going to eat it. 😢😢

[@Trojwaterman]

We gave it to a friend in the end but don't worry we caught a couple of good ones which we will having tomorrow.

[@boydovens4180]

You dont want to shake hands with that Monster do you .

[@cedhome7945]

What's the longest time you have left a pot out and found something in it ? ....any rock or harbour fishing this autumn?

[@Trojwaterman]

Just a few weeks. Most unattended pots of my scale would not survive the winter storms out where we are. Shore fishing is on the cards weather permitting. I also picked up a bunch of new underwater gear for filming. So I hope to improve on that.

[@neilsimone7691]

best iv ever seen was 5.5 kg just over 11lb many years ago mid channel lobster 13lb west coast guernsey when fishing with andy loader on the portland fisher

[@Trojwaterman]

Now that's a big one. I bet there have been some monsters in the past even maybe a few that are just too big for the pot necks.

[@fishypie]

id love to see the price of that monster crab when its on the counter

[@JohnMCdaid-vy2db]

Look how hard it is to pull those pots into the boat with the rope tied to the top, its far easier to get the pots into the boat with the rope tied to the bottom and the rope won't get cut on the seabed because you've already got the all roped.

[@Trojwaterman]

We pulled these pots in more tide than we normally would. You may think it looks difficult but its actually very easy. I used to pull all my pots by hand so rope them to make it as easy as possible to pull them into the boat as explained in another video. The rope tied to the bottom does wear over time it also increases the chance of snagging in the rocks along with tipping your pot forward giving the lobsters a better chance at darting out on the way up especially on pots with no traps.

[@marksleep6776]

How much longer will you keep the pots out

[@Trojwaterman]

They are coming in now but we will keep some in while the boats still in the water and if good weather after maybe a few reachable with the dinghy.

[@timothyjohnston6314]

👍🇨🇦

[@ricatkins4918]

..it’s always a concern no life jackets.....

[@Trojwaterman]

Life jackets are great for body recovery but wont do you much good out there that's why we use flotation jackets a far better option.

[@keithlyons5396]

Do you have an income in the down season ?

[@Trojwaterman]

Nope

[@cedhome7945]

You could do fishing trips but the insurance would be overpriced

[@timandrews1613]

What's a crab like that worth on the market ?

[@Trojwaterman]

Prices vary wildly depending on where you go. I don't know what the general going rate is. We keep most of ours these days as we catch so few.

[@Skynet4444]

What do you estimate that to be now you've got it in your hand,???about 9inches,😂😂😂😂😂

[@Trojwaterman]

Nope it was 10inches 😁😁
