I Caught All These While Crabbing Solo!

For most people, summertime is their favorite season for hitting the water to fish, water ski or take a booze cruise.
Each of those is great fun, but to me, if you're not crabbing in the summer, why do you even own a boat?
Successful crabbing is an art that requires as much skill as fishing, and the net result is even better: an ice chest full of the tastiest protein available on planet Earth.
I do it a bunch this time of year, and a trip this week yielded some of the consistently largest crabs I've ever caught! Check out the video for all the details.

I love all your video and I've a lot from you. I've been crabbing for 45 year and the best bait to use are turkey neck and best to secure the bait is 2 ty-wrap. Nice crab dude !

[@MisfitsFiendClub138]

Crabbing video with a Guy Ritchie movie type soundtrack 😱

[@Thunder_6278]

I hear blue crabs reproduce quickly. I don't think they'll become endangered.

[@kevincinnamontoast3669]

Good to hear your blue crab conclusions, Mr. youtube marine biologist.

[@agould53]

"High cluster potential" 😂. Those are the best kinda shenanigans! I'm in! 😂

[@bayouburner281]

Nice haul, Mr. Todd-Time to fire up that pot👍🏻

[@jmcelroy8637]

Nice Todd, now you made me hungry. 👍

[@dcata251]

try Lake Catherin along the houses and piers monsters

[@shaneorgeron7680]

Awesome change-up video. I agree that doing it solo can get tiring, but it's still fun. I use zip ties, which I find hold the bait better than string.

[@scottmetzler2687]

Shower curtain holders work well also. Keep the videos coming.

[@MarshManMasson]

Years ago, when I was newly married and dirt poor, my wife came home to find the shower curtain on the floor of the bathroom. I had used the clips to hold the chicken in my crab nets. Believe it or not, that was an unpopular decision.

[@philipb6797]

We were out there on Sunday morning and caught 106 nice crabs

[@MarshManMasson]

You find they were bigger than usual? I caught some absolute studs.

[@philipb6797]

Absolutely, we had at least 3 dozen #1’s and the rest were still very nice

[@davidbegnaud8418]

Love me some crabbing. Still one of my favorite things to do.

[@dipstick5869]

My sister's favorite thing to do, she Love's to crab. You caught some very nice one's too!

[@bobfarley4102]

What is that wall behind you? Is it a dam?

[@laynegirouard1585]

I believe the catfish got your chicken I had that happen to me

[@pault5816]

That’s some pretty crabs

[@QMore-fp7wn]

That looks like a ton of fun.

[@FrankLucco]

I agree, looks like a lot of fun and I am also interested in. Where did you get those nets? It seems like your nets are more either metal or heavy wire as opposed to that cloth string that doesn’t hold up.

[@ronaldbeach8724]

How long between each time you checked your lines

[@haroldstanton6942]

Wow❤👍

[@steele5048]

We used to use a pool net pole with a double prong head attachment to scoop the corks and lift the nets straight up quickly. Great video

[@mookeychase0907]

Bro where is this and how deep is that water?

[@hookedwithbryan]

Where do you getbyour nets from

[@MarshManMasson]

Chag's Sporting Goods in Metairie.

[@fredsutherland3198]

now do a cook and peel on crabing...thanks for all the videos Todd...

[@jaijason8150]

Bait bags.

[@EdBalcerzak-gc5nn]

What state are u in?

[@MarshManMasson]

Louisiana

[@fredwienbarg5051]

In what state are you?

[@geralde7010]

Love your videos... 7:19 7:20 We use zip ties to hold the chicken legs to the net.

[@dcata251]

Have you ever tried bull lips for bait?

[@todddupont3846]

Hey brother, where do you buy your net setups locally? That looks like something my boys would love to do.

[@MarshManMasson]

Chag's Sporting Goods in Metairie.

[@dixie3087]

One issue I have with netting crabs from a boat is the metal ring from the net scratching up the boat

[@bigshark8838]

How long do you wait before picking up?

[@MarshManMasson]

I complete one run and then begin the next one.

[@travisyoung3179]

The hotter it gets the better the crabbing.

[@jayneup4776]

Missed u by 1 day 😂 fished hard all day Saturday caught a lil bit of everything except reds unfortunately.

[@MarshManMasson]

In some parts of Louisiana right now, it's easier to catch a flounder than a redfish.

[@FrankLucco]

I agree, looks like a lot of fun, but I’m also interested in where you bought your nets. They look like they’re more heavy duty metal or wire as opposed to those cotton string nets.

[@MarshManMasson]

Chag's Sporting Goods has handmade, dipped nets that are really high quality.
