Underwater Crab Snare Footage - Threw my GoPro in the Pacific Ocean

Underwater Crab Snare Footage - Threw my GoPro in the Pacific Ocean:
First time out crab snaring by myself with one goal in mind: Catch a Keeper Crab. Not only did we do that, we got some cool underwater footage to see what really goes on under the water. If you liked this video, I would appreciate it if you could share it, like, and leave a comment below. If this video is successful, I will do more underwater videos!

Die Hard Fishing I would love to see you do more underwater catch video like this on your bigger crab pot.

[@DieHardFishing]

I actually am planning to do that exact idea! Next time out on the kayak I am planning to drop down a crab pot with the GoPro strapped on.

[@garyaiello8313]

Just curious about no weight. Seems like you get out there far enough but other guys use some weight. Maybe more weight from a actual beach. Just a quick ?

[@chrismenlo]

Is it just me, or is anyone else excited sandabs are so close to shore! I've been on a mission to find them in HMB on my kayak.

[@shadyone8682]

Would love to see more underwater shots, very cool to see what's going on at the end of the line.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I have been watching every snaring video with underwater video this year. Thanks a lot. It helps me improve my snares!

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad I could help! Its always interesting to see what is going on down there.

[@Ron707slim]

one of the best go pro videos with the snare... great job

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks, glad you enjoyed it!

[@theyakuza4927]

Always like those GoPro shots. Also like those epic ocean kayak vids, I’m always on edge that you’re going to run into something big and scary out there LOL. The catch and cook vids with Ish always make lunch look so good. See Ya.

Underwater snaring footage was awesome. I'v been looking everywhere for one of those but never could find one. Thanks for that, please make more!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! More underwater footage to come!

[@natesbaits4413]

Good video! Just watched it with my family and it even kept my 3 yr old spellbound 😁

[@barefootterry3785]

That was a great vid with the GoPro in the water. Gotta try crabbing next season!

[@marke.1021]

Nice seeing that you pointed out/tagged the other creatures in the Go Pro footage. I always tie my Crab Gage to the snares so can not forget them..plus one extra in car as the "just in case"..nice video as always.

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I put an extra one in my backpack now just in case. Can't wait to see what else comes to check out the crab snare!

[@chimyshark]

wow that is some AMAZING footage! Best snare footage ever seen. you're so lucky you not only got it to land upright, but also caught a crab on it! Perfect demonstration of how easy it was for a crab to walk into the loops, and then show them tightening. Although I liked the simultaneous pulling action shot, I wish I could see the ensnarement full screen. great vid! nice crab. I'm coming up this weekend to do some crabbing!

[@DieHardFishing]

Glad you enjoyed the video! Was cool to see the snare in action. Good luck on the crab this weekend!

[@chimyshark]

ended up with 8 dungeness and rock crab limit!

[@DieHardFishing]

NICE!!! Sounds like you will be eating good this week!

[@rickmckinney5153]

Nice job on holding that crab by the claws, never thought of that. Great video.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@PacificaFisherman]

Yeah, I might have to try that, since the way I've been doing it is by grabbing the two or four back legs. The problem with my technique is that it sometimes breaks the crabs legs off. And that ain't so cool if if isn't a keeper.

[@BudoFishing]

That underwater footage was cool!! Definitely do more of that!!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! Hope to do it again soon! Maybe on a crab pot out on the kayak.

[@joshuapluim]

[@danlewis6157]

Excellent video! I have noted that in some areas, the near shore crabs tend to be those undersized females, and the males hang out farther offshore. Thanks for the instructional bits; I gotta get my snares out!

[@Deadeye0412]

Great video, I live 1,700 Kim’s from the ocean but learned a lot next trip west😉👍

[@cubbiemalone49]

Speaking from personal experience I would recommend checking your crab snare every 6-10 minutes, especially if your using squid as it’s easy for them to pick out of the cage. I generally use chicken and out crab most people around me who use natural bait fish, the chicken is cheap and lasts long. I’ll usually cut 1big piece to fill the entire cage so it’s nearly impossible for them to take out (sometimes 2 pieces). Great video btw, I’m looking forward to seeing more crabbing videos!

[@DieHardFishing]

I did notice on the video that the crabs started coming in to check out the bait around the 5 min mark so you could be right on checking the snare every 6-10 min. Might have to do a side by side test of chicken and squid to see which performs better!

[@bowrudder899]

I like the sand dab in the background.

[@DieHardFishing]

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

Great video, the camera on the bait box showed me what I wanted to see. I was wondering about how much the snares moved with the current. Took guts to put the camera on the snare where you were crabbing. I've lost a number of snares the one time I went there.

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I don't think I would do it again, the footage was sick though!

[@knightclan4]

Brilliant

[@PacificaFisherman]

Great underwater footage. It seems that if we could view more of this kind of footage, it might give us all ideas of new crab snaring techniques, and for those who make them, new ideas for snare design. The water was super clear this past weekend. Was that one of the Go Pro box type cameras?

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah it definitely is cool to see what goes on under the water. This was shot with a GoPro session.

[@outdoorfreedom9778]

I gave it a like. Not the worst video ive seen and ive snared there, takes stones to risk your go pro there. Cool under water video so it worked out for you.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@lschoenrank]

At 15:24, that was a Red Rock Crab. Why didn't you keep it? Soft shell? Female? Looked big enough. I know they're way more work, but they taste great.

[@EliteBassStickFishing]

Awesome footage!💯💪👊LET'S GO!!!

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks!

[@vn6191]

thanks you 👍

[@carlosfung5780]

Cool video, really like the underwater shot. It is true that “objects do look bigger and wider on the GoPro,” I thought that crab was 7 inches and I yelling pull the snare, pull the snare :). I wonder if you can buy a WiFi camera and connected to your snare and view the image on your phone live so you will know when to pull. It might have a depth and distance limit though.

[@DieHardFishing]

Yeah I don't think the wifi would work under water, would be cool if it did though! Objects do usually look bigger on the GoPro because the have a wide angle lens. Thanks for watching!

[@Fishingchanneltv]

love the vid

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@ravaginggoatman]

It's a good possibility that you caught the same female a couple of times. I think that it's a good idea to have a plan when landing the crab I usually have a small net, sometimes a crab is not snared but just holding on to the bait and you can still net them.

[@PTuffduty]

cool!

[@csabo1725]

HAHAHA That crab was like " IIIIIIIII DIIIIIIIN DOOOOO NUUUUUFIIIIN!!!!!!!"

[@mikeblitzen]

Great footage! Can you catch dungeness on the inside of the jetty too, or is the outside better?

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! I think the inside of the jetty might hold some rock crab but as far as Dungeness crab, I think they are all on the outside.

[@kennyhowell1537]

This was an amazing video, thanks so much for making and sharing please make more like it! I used to catch those crabs by hand off the rocks as a kid but never knew what to do with them. I would love to see a video of you cooking and eating one.,... CHEERS, Kenny

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! I did do a catch and cook with these crabs a few months ago but I will definitely do another one!

[@vaajrambo2053]

Yup, been out there a few days ago and caught a whole bunch of females that were just a hair shy... Love the underwater go-pro view...when the crab got snare weeeeeeeeee! Lol. If there a way, I've always wanted to see underwater view while fishing

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! I think it will be a bot tougher to see underwater while fishing because there are more moving parts and the water is deeper. But we will see what we can do!

[@YoungPioneer789]

Hahaha I don’t know what I found that underwater catch to be silly but I did haha good video I’d definitely like more but careful with the equipment.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! More underwater videos to come!

[@JRKPower]

Attaching the underwater camera to your crab snare is definitely one of your great ideas! We need more underwater footage! Do you know how deep the water is over there?

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! More underwater videos to come. I am not sure on the depth but I would guess somewhere around 20 feet.

[@Lambert-hr7sm]

cool video man :)

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching!

[@DRTMaverick]

What strength of rod and line do you use? I'm new at this and am about to buy a new rod.

[@edwardstgeorge6624]

Loved the video. Do you use 20lb braided line (or more), no leader when you cast from the jetty or pier? Thanks again. Loved the underwater segment.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks for watching! For crabbing, I usually use 30-50lb braided line, no leader.

[@crabhawk3775]

great job and good info.In my experience If you cut the squid and expose the guts the crab will respond quicker due to the smell rather than just putting a whole piece or two in the snare.

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks! I have seen other people do that as well. Might have to give that a shot next time.

[@PacificaFisherman]

Yeah . . . one of the two crab snaring videos I am currently editing, the one from this past Saturday, March 31, I actually show how I started putting cuts in the squid now before putting it in the snare. Cuts, but not cut all the way through the squid, so that when the squid piece breaks and gives way, it'll hopefully be enough movement to clue you in that there is a crab down there. I should have that video out in a few days. I am putting together a video first from the snaring I did this past Friday night, March 30. I did so much snaring this weekend I think my right arm is going to fall off.

[@catchncookcalifornia1574]

Great vid man! We've been freediving for them, and dropping crab pots for years... but after seeing this we're going to have to give snaring a try! Looked like a really fun day! Let's do a collab vid some time!

Killer vid!! Great job editing too. What program do you use? The free GoPro one?

[@DieHardFishing]

Thanks! I used to use the free GoPro editing software but now I use Adobe Premiere.

[@PacificaFisherman]

Is that program better than the Go Pro Studio? Go Pro Studio is all I've ever used. Sometimes it doesn't cut the clips in the places that I mark it at. It's okay, but frustrating sometimes.

What kind of line do you use and at what pound test? I tried it once with 45lb mono on my traps on a windy day and the winds kept on blowing all of my loops shut! Did you ever have that problem?

I don't make these, I just bought them at the local tackle shop. I believe it is somewhere around 100 pound mono. I never have any issues with the loops closing
