[@ncwarrior62]

We are going to have to give you a new name! Crabmaster!!! Again great video nice Rockfish !! Thank You for sharing!!!

[@SapperMan724]

Just discovered your videos after I bought a boat and the guy gave me a couple free crab traps. I've never been but it looks so fun! Thanks for these great videos, definitely will be binging on them the next few days! Tight Lines!

[@dennyryan2233]

Good job, PK. I learn lots from your videos. Catching, cooking, scouting, gear. Also inspired by seeing you having such a good time. Thanks a lot!

[@oregonlife]

Denny Ryan thank you, I appreciate it

[@jeffmorris7586]

I was just at Seaside and was able to catch around 30 perch over a few trips using your method. Thank you for teaching it to me.

[@oregonlife]

30?? Wow, nice haul!

[@alenhider]

what part of seaside?

[@jeffmorris7586]

That was on three outings; 2, 19 and 11. I fished from the turn around to north a few hundred feet. I did best about an hour before high tide, with high tide occurring 2 hours after sunset.

[@michaelfitzgerald9502]

I grew up on long island sound.. had a residential license for lobsters.. caught over a thousand when I was on my whaler.. had an assination kit.. s.s.snips. tiny fork and a dental pick . Could tear on down completely in 45 seconds.. this is the best fishing crabbing cooking video I have ever seen.. always carry olive oil Tony chachers ..which I think was in a form..butter and lemon and a fun attitude.. awesome video.. I thank you again.. awesome..🏝️🏖️😀😎

[@joyceallen4803]

I'm from Boston I got sick and had to leave I have not had a dungeness crab I'n 30 years I miss them so much there 2 much money to buy so I watch every episode of dungeness crabs with my mouth watering and remembering the great tast

[@Kikinbac]

Heading your way next week, we will be in Lincoln city, Newport and Florence. Thanks for the great channel.

[@oregonlife]

nice. good luck!

[@vanessabozworth2064]

I love watching you catch the crabs and cooking it!

[@jinz948]

OMG everytime i watch this video i get sooooo hungry... yummmmmm the sound of the crunching lol

[@jaq4u]

I find your videos very addicting in the way that I just can't stop watching once I begin. I hope some day I can go to Oregon and have you take me to that process. Thank you for all your videos.!

[@oregonlife]

Thanks for the comments. If the opportunity allows, we can definitely work out a trip. Tight lines!

[@MrGTO-ze7vb]

WOW... a full pot of dungeness in only 1 hour..!! and cooking them right in the parking lot of the harbor in your boat..YUMMMMMYYY The 49er hat told me to watch this video..!

[@joniwasson2866]

So nice to see our local area being represented on KZbin. Keep up the great videos PK. Coos bay girl here..

[@oregonlife]

For sure. CB is my stomping ground. Good rock fish fishing there.

[@BARBAQUED]

That was fantastic! Loved the way you tossed the females back in. Never heard of OJ to cook crab. That rock fish omg!!

[@spotlobac7694]

nice haul ace , i grew up close to florence, miss it & the crabs, signed , landlocked & locked down, oh shit !

[@bv2thareese]

PK Yi Love how you respect the limit and size laws. if everyone did that there'd be enough nice crab outings for everyone. Please keep up the good work. Love your vids

[@ShaggyRogers1]

It is honestly such a great example with how he makes a point to measure his catches on video. He makes it clear that he doesn't advocate for anything but respectful environmentally friendly outdoorsmanship.

[@glendagardner2049]

Fun to watch you catching them,but really great seeing you cook and eat them

[@timmorey9844]

Hello PK, I really enjoy your videos. You do such a great job making them. I live down in South Texas near the coast and used to crab a lot as a young boy. Thanks for sharing.

[@angelcintron2122]

I've never had Dungeness crab, but I'm getting really hungry watching you guys eat. .. :-)

[@maxpowers2009]

When I used to do commercial blue crabs in TX, when pulling traps I would spin the boat in a circle. This way you are only pulling against the center of the circle instead of against the boat and current. We hand pulled about 200 per day this way.

[@damagekids]

Its 5am Fathers day 2020 and I'm starving for crab.now.i like the tutorial on setting up the traps and the little tips he give.i also learned steaming/boiling crabs don't have to be done with water only.gr e at video

[@HOOKEMINTHEMOUTHKAYAKFISHING]

I love Crabs!! Nothing like a nice pot of Dungeness crabs!

[@maryluharmon3267]

Looks so good! I feel I'm right there crabbin' with you!

[@kanaletumlinson]

Great video as always PK. Really enjoy how informative you are during the videos, most crabbing vids I have seen they only show pots with music in the background. Keep up the great work

[@SkkyJuse]

Woohoo, it’s almost September. Can’t wait to go crabbing with the fam. We’ve never crabbed in Coos Bay, looks like we need to check out some more spots further south. We always crab in the Tillamook Bay.

[@seanerecacho67]

Thank you for all of your videos it's very enjoyable watching! Thanks again for everything

[@MISSLOVELY_REE]

Love how you can go out on the boat in this beautiful senory and catch these 😋 crabs I love it

[@Chrissers2010]

Nice catch! Our record came out of Bandon. Four people, 8 pots and 96 legal crabs in one pull. We had to release four limits of legal crabs. The crabs were absolute giants too. State Police was checking boats at the dock. They measured a couple then said, "No reason to measure those". I said "those are the small ones" and opened the second ice chest with the largest crabs in it. They just laughed.

[@billrobbins5874]

Thank you for the information Very interesting. 🦀🍺

[@9MilNorm]

All the times I’ve seen crab cooked, I’ve never seen it done with orange juice. Do you notice the flavor or n the crab when you eat it?

[@blueskies1848]

It would be great if you'd put a Go Pro type cam inside your Promar pot. It's fun to see what all goes on while it soaks. I have a propane turkey cooker and throw in one McCormick crab boil bag into boiling water. Tastes like Louisiana crab boil.

[@trnrbrnr]

Excellent video! It makes me want to come out from the east coast to try this out. I know you cannot get food this good in a restaurant.

[@jpollard1984]

Those crabs most be pretty docile. Pull a blue crab out of a pot here in N.C. and it’s claws up and snapping ready for a fight. Like trying to to wrestle a pissed off ninja! Awesome video, would love to fish in Oregon.

[@kpattenvan]

I so love your channel. We are gonna be at the coast there this comming spring if my mom has her way... or fall if i get mine.. (lol) love to go crabbing with you.

[@bobbyduhon9720]

Great vid, down here on the gulf coast we just add a couple of teaspoons of zataran's crab boil to a pot of boiling water. Throw in some potato's and corn on the cob.

[@roseliopalma535]

I liked your crabbing video it's very interesting to looked at with a lot of excitement! thanks for loading this VIDEO!

[@OfficerLarryNMSE]

Those Seals are a crafty bunch...

[@michaelduschane2495]

Hello PK, another great video! You always make me so hungry.

[@xevious2501]

Maybe a two year old vid, but sheeze! this one was worth every sec of viewing. As a east coast guy im actually jealous of west coast crabbing. Its funny, we have our great lobsters but the west coast has their great crabs.

[@PIAMUSA]

woooo that is cook that black fish. awesome. those crab made me so hungry.

[@leongossett4060]

Great video PK,I love me some crab. Please do more catch and cooks with crab and fish.

[@THEMASTEROFYOU2000]

thanks for your time and work to teach us your formulas......can;t wait to try it all out!!!

[@jimsutton3841]

Love the Cave Man Attitude -- DO IT WITH WHAT YOU GOT!!!

[@TMK-22]

That second pot was bananas!

[@jakethompson3718]

That was full! What an awesome day.

[@er_doc_119]

소소한 즐거움이 있는 일상이 행복해보입니다. 저도 해보고싶군요. 이때만 해도 covid도 없었고 모두 평화로왔는데.. 오리건의 요즘 모습은 어떤지 궁금합니다.

[@roseliopalma535]

Supper fresh, sweet, delicious and succulent dungeness Oregon crabs! to feast with!

[@briandrake9467]

I've seen those Lil frs snorkels on the beach, and I figured out how to dig them up with a stick, I'm going to eat them like you..thanks.

[@SoCalRonnie]

Mmmm your videos inspire me to catch crab!!!

[@spidermight8054]

Lived in Coos Bay for 20 years, mostly in Charleston/Empire area. I was a commercial fisherman on big trawlers (nets), catching bottom fish, shrimp, and occasionally tuna (with hooks/lines). Never crabbed from a boat in the bay. I always just sat at the end of the docks and tossed crab rings. Almost always caught legal ones. It just takes time, so bring a 12-pack. It used to be legal to crab off Oregon docks without a license. Don’t think that’s true anymore. Furthermore, I always thought you’d have to leave the bay (cross the bar) to catch rockfish!

[@bigdh2os814]

Great vid! Impressed with your ability to handle Dungeness so easily. Your information was great & I learned about the weighted rope for the first time (Where Have I been)? Been crabbing since 1973 in Newport and abroad the Oregon coast mainly Tillamook, Waldport. Thanks for sharing your info! "Subscribed"!

[@xaoyaj938]

That black rock fish look just like a large mouth bass and look like it can pack some punches reeling it in. Nice catch on the crab too. So jealous Minnesota isn’t surrounded by the sea... 😭😭

[@toliu4u]

Thank you for sharing this great moment with us.

[@maryluharmon3267]

I never get tired of this video!

[@marzsit9833]

i used to boil crab all the time but have switched to using a tiered steamer which keeps the crab out of the water during cooking, i find it keeps more flavor in the crab and it has a better texture, doesn't get mushy. my steamer has 2 trays and is big enough to cook 2 limits at once, which is pretty cool for beach parties. even though the crab isn't in the water if you add old bay seasoning the flavor still permeates the crab as well as if it was boiled in it. the steamer is also great for melting the butter.

[@tismeagen684]

Crabs cooked in orange juice! never known that before, bet they tasted lovely.

[@rerewest4703]

Does your trap have escape door with string holding it shut , that will rot and let crab out , if you lose your trap ? Otherwise crab will forever crawl in and die , if trap is lost .

[@slleonard10]

I enjoyed the video and learned a lot wish I was out there..lots of love from GA..new subscriber❤

[@cecesheart32]

Its morning here and I’m hungry now!!! This is what I miss about Oregon the most!!

[@michaelcrawley5211]

I am land locked..... I really appreciate your videos I love deep sea fishing never done crabbing but I would love to try it.

[@vivianweston1023]

nice and so big crabs you caught there,,,, awesome

[@luzvimindamanigbas4035]

Wow its nice to see alot of Crabs. New Subscriber to your channel from Philippines

[@borntorazehell777]

When you take your boat out to sea, it reminds me of the Gilligan's Island theme song as you're driving away from the harbor, LOL.

[@andradavis7201]

im from red oak tx hi love your video and crab

[@joecole5492]

Love the catch and cook crab shows the beast

[@cliffcampbell8827]

I never would have thought to use orange juice to cook crab in. I'm going to try that some time.

[@grandwonder5858]

Here in Maryland people could fish for an entire day and not catch as many crabs as you did with your two pots in two pick ups! Wow! The crabbing in Oregon is unbelievable!

[@earlkyat8092]

This the first for me never heard of people putting any crabs in boiling orange juice... nice

[@edsnaturebushcraft6985]

Try and find your trAps if you can$421. No thanlsI want 2 traps and can’t find them. Ed

[@paulpresto7346]

OJ Never heard of that- we use beer and vinegar and old bay spice

[@skippickens1843]

PK, make it easier on your back, go to harbor freight, pick up their small winch for 49 bucks,(twenty five hundred pounds of pulling power), then over to an exhaust shop have them bend a pipe to reach over the side of your boat, make a sort of boom set up, use it to raise your pots, bring up the pot swing it in the boat and your ready to cull the catch. If I had your address I would send you a setup for all the great informative videos you have given up.

[@oregonlife]

Thank you for that offer. I definitely need a setup like you mentioned to help my back. Once I get a bigger boat, it's something on my list.

[@skippickens1843]

PK, my boat is a 16 foot aluminum with a 20 horse Mariner ( Mercury)on it, big enough to go fishing.I plan on pulling it up to Oregon you can take a look at the system.

[@dong2377]

Always Informative Always Entertaining! PK "I got Crabs" Yi

[@inesitaquijano1584]

So sweet . So fresh. I am hungry now. Ang sarap

[@abefrohman1759]

That's a awesome way to spend a afternoon.

[@london402]

Great video to watch while isolating. My 6 year old wants to know if the sharp legs poke you and if so, does it hurt?

[@oregonlife]

It depends on one's own pain threshold, but mostly those legs pricking you don't hurt much at all.

[@london402]

@@oregonlife thanks! We got a big smile over here. Once this is all over, he wants to visit try his hand at fishing and crabbing. Thanks again and stay safe !

[@oregonlife]

@@london402 Thank you, take care.

[@matthewbell9664]

Crab from the uk is not the same. I’d love to go to Oregon to do a catch and cook. Definitely on my bucket list.

[@juniorcunanan9010]

Pk, the Pacific NW is blessed with abundance in marine life. I'm from AZ so we only have scorpions here. Wonder if you'd let your subscribers shadow you and learn from you.

[@WekaDigitalMediaNZ]

New subscriber here from New Zealand because of those tasty looking crabs!!

[@briankruse3584]

For blue crabs we use chicken necks, bull lips, eel, or clam packs.

[@stevenmatchett252]

Hey just a little thing that I like to do, I score or cut a lot of slices into my chicken\turkey\bait, that causes more scent and blood and juices to be released into the water! I figure it makes sense, don't you agree?

[@aliciaroot2201]

Gosh you make me so hungry! So happy your enjoying your crab! Yeah!# 😃

[@josephsadowski4532]

instead of using your OJ why are you not using seawater as I do it all the time and it is so good, Looks so good Thank You God Bless and Be careful!

[@Theshinyespeon]

This candy man ad looks great.

Nice catch. Didn’t know Oregon open crab a month early than Humboldt?

[@oregonlife]

Crabbing is open year round in the bays in Oregon.

[@dfzurichch]

Good day out, every day fishing is a beautiful day

[@taimuongtean]

PK, do you welcome visitor to go crabbing with you? I always wanted to go to places like where you are at right now and just crabbing.

[@oregonlife]

No. Too many liabilities, and don't have a guide permit.

Hey PK what is the brand of your crab trap?

[@nursetomrn]

Thank you for your videos, I love to watch them. Do you know if they rent boats in coos bay to crab with and if they do who should I go to? I really watching you fish and crab.

[@theonlynatedawg8563]

Love your vids keep up the good work

[@rogerhuber3133]

I'm from Maryland and crab is in my blood! It's my favorite food! Unfortunately I'm now retired in Arkansas so crabs aren't ever going to happen for me again. I had to stop watching as it made me choke up and start to weep! Great video.

[@cocarr1]

southbeachfishmarket.com/ and probably others.

[@Peggapoo]

This makes me so hungry. Thanks for the videos.

[@Rocwlkr]

PKI don't know about and Oregon but here in California zip tying the escape ring closed is a $650 fine so you may want to take the zip ties out if you're still doing it that way

[@oregonlife]

Thank you for the heads up
