12 Hour Hunting Mud Crabs Challenge - How Many Crabs Can I Catch?

thank you for the love I hope you enjoy this video as much as I loved hunting the crabs, this is my biggest Mud Crab I've caught, and it was so good to eat :) if you want too see the cook up go to @thatfalzonfamily and go check it out thank you love you

[@aljohnson1191]

I Love how he appreciates everything he catches so much

[@lukefalzon]

I’m glad you do bro ❤

[@lukeholmes7567]

I’ve lived up in North Queensland my whole life and never seen anyone get so excited about this stuff 👌 your a breath of fresh air bro. Love watching you

[@fuzzycuzzy]

bro I love how honest you are about being scared about things, this shit is scary and it adds to the success story. Grabbing a crab out of a hole where you could lose a finger, it's akin to shit like sky diving out of a plane, massive risk for massive reward. LOVE your content and most of all love your character. You and a few other youtubers inspire me to do more of what I love. Keep it up brother

[@fuzzycuzzy]

you said "how do they do it" One of the strategies I've seen people do is the closed fist method, your fist is too big for the crab to latch onto, to see if it's there. Then you fuck around and try get its back legs slowly. But that terrifys me and I've never tried it :P haha

[@lukefalzon]

omg what a nice comment bro thank you so much that really means a Lot 😊 I hope your well

[@ravenfeader]

Really well done Luke and you're so right getting out there is good for the soul .

[@lukefalzon]

thank you my brother get out and have fun

[@Blaydgrant]

Hey Luke Try using chicken frames, wrap them in gutter guard and then put them in the crab pot or my dad also likes to use tuna heads cut down the middle and wired half into your pot. Try and leave your pot 24hours. Remember the QLD rules on crabbing. Good luck Luke and let me know if you try our suggestions. 🤙🏻

[@lukefalzon]

hey man yes I willl deff try that out thank you for the heads up bro means a lot thank you

[@jyethepie7896]

When you stick your hand in the mud crab holes go under the mud a few centimetres and you can feel them with out getting bitten anyway keep up the content ❤😊

[@WillWood-fq6cc]

Ye mate love ur vid. I do a lot of bone collecting bones and yeah from what footage I saw it looked like a hip of what looks like a turtle. And yeah putting ur hands in muddy holes is very sketchy. Where i live in Brisbane, I get my hands down holes and I tend to keep my hand inside the mud and feel around. Where u are in Cambera looks good fun and there are muddys ever where in all landscape. You will find on in the middle of nowhere on the flats. Keep going mate love ya. You will get the barra soon i tell yah.

[@lukefalzon]

hey bro thank you for the heads up man that means a lot its so scary putting your hands down the holes but I will keep going my friend thank you bro, you been fishing lately?

[@WillWood-fq6cc]

Not as much as I would like to but I am desperate to catch a mangrove jack. Good luck mate. much love

[@666mills666]

Little tip for ya mate. Chuck a plastic plate or bucket lid at the bottom of your bait holder then bait on top. So if your pot isn't sitting flush on the bottom stops crabs picking at it from underneath and draws them into the pot.

[@lukefalzon]

good idea next time I will try that bro cheers man 👍🏽 how are you?

[@gianr76]

Hope you enjoyed that Crab Luke. The look of excitement when you caught that! Fishing - one of the simplest pleasures of life. 👌👍

Just found your channel mate and have subscribed! So cool how your around the cairns area as well! I’ve lived here my whole life and can safe cairns for crabbing and fishing the rivers can be hard but the tip I have for catching mud crabs is try getting your pots in small drains that come out of a larger river. Give Daintree river a go you will have a good chance of catching a few 👍🍻 good luck mate, love your videos

Superb Video mate, Very happy for you to see you get a mud carb after all the perserverance. I told you last video man, you'r getting closer every time. To be completely honest I don't know how you kept it in so well, whenever I catch a big fish or crab I get bricked up straight away and I think it happens to most of us out here. You have done very well Luke and we are all proud of you. Now it wont be long before you tick off the barra. I can feel it man.

[@jameswalkley4631]

happens to me all the time buddy 💯. Hoping Lukey can tick that barra off. Oh boy will it feel good when you zest up that first barra with some lemon and lime!!

Luke their claws don't break easy they detach them like a skinks tail. Like if a bird grabs it's claw the crab detaches it's claws. It doesn't harm them they do it on purpose to survive but the but crabs do struggle without at least 1 claw.
