You did a 2 hour video you and blue Gabe are the only videos I love mainly because you don’t play music so don’t start. Nothing beats a good beer and watching you. Keep up the good work and longer videos please

[@awesometaylor5881]

Absolutely 💯

[@Uncle_Dale_Adventures]

Your videos make me hangry every time I watch them! That looks like so much fun catching blue crabs!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

It was!

[@kfred]

That looks amazing my friend. Thanks for using KFRED. I love them that way too.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks buddy

[@patricknahmen1275]

Great video, I am amazed how shallow you throw your traps for crabs and lobster, here on the west coast most lobster hunting is done with tanks, rock crabs in 20 ft of water,, nice work,

[@mmcleod111]

That was awesome. What a meal! Always enjoy your videos, thanks so much for sharing!

Chill out people. I've steamed crabs with Old Bay my whole life too, but I'm open to trying different ways too. Start your own KZbin channel if you're so bent on it.

[@Blackberry7399]

I did this by mistake, I checked my crab trap beneath my dock and was already barbequing and decided to throw them on the grill with minced garlic with salt and pepper, changed my life... Right in the comfort of my backyard...

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

So good!

Nice haul! Crabs, shrimp, and bream! The river life!

You got that right!

I just pulled my traps and got 10. I use fish carcasses, grunts, and shrimp heads for bait. Nothing goes to waste!

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks 👍

[@CaptainSloose]

Heck it almost looked like a triple tail!

[@Salty80556]

Bluegill large enough to eat are excellent table fare. Usually out here in the west, the orange/yellow belly is a female somewhere in the breeding stage. Good job. When I lived in Ft Myers, we caught lots of them up the Caloosahatchie River. Also, they had a red ear sunfish that resembles the bluegill. Also great eating, and often a bit larger than bluegill. Keep up the great work, and stay safe.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks for the info!

These videos are some kinda magic 👍 I don't know how you don't have a million subscribers yet 🤷

And before you take off you need to fill your reservoir too because if something happens and you start getting a leak in your coolant system you can pull it will pull coolant from your reservoir I always keep your reservoir full

We do that too

[@ahayahshouse5344]

Good stuff guys and always great to see families smiling together and have a great time. Much love and respect.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Thanks you

[@HoosierOutdoors]

It all looked delicious! You're exactly right saying the trick is to not over cook them. I crab on the south end of Lake George and grilling is my favorite way to cook them. If you cook them to long though the shell gets brittle and you'll get tiny pieces in your meat when you pick them. (I know from experience😁)

[@miaaustin2211]

AZ Wow you guy's are living the Life. Glad a watched the one where you all were Shrimpin. The girl in the chair. Looks just like Tracey Gold. You had on hunting gear. Hope you can find the tape. Your family is Golden. Mia AZ

Sounds good!

You should take your bluegill and fillet them and then stuff them in the blue crabs shell that you peeled off. Little Old Bay seasoning and wrap them in foil and put them right on top of the grill

[@adrianbatts4498]

Those are some of the Best Looking crabs I've ever seen never ever saw nobody cook crab on the grill I'll definitely try it

Where's the OLD BAY SEASONING !!!! I'M from Maryland Blue Crabs needs OLD BAY....

[@goldie8eight]

Not Old Bay. We need J.O. On blue crabs !

[@edwardsdigital]

The correct seasoning for crabs is J.O. According to most of the professional crab houses in Maryland.

[@JohnLee-jk5ew]

Cook em with JO and use Old Bay for everything else including tequila shots

Oh great, now another recipe I get to try!

[@joey8567]

I used to do it this way. Now, 2 pipes, anchor a net flat, rectangle in between the pipes, trout line with chicken legs and wait a bit, then scoop everyone's limit up in less than an hour and no worries, just plenty of time to fish while crabs gather on net.

I have always prepped my crabs like that to throw in my marinera sauce with a little crushed red pepper. I usually rip off the little legs. Serve with the pasta of choice topped with that crabby marinera. People love that you have done most of the messy work before they dig in. I never thought of putting them on the grill with butter sauce. When your guest are sucking on the shells you know it's a hit.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Yum!

As a Marylander that has lived in FL I have seen them done like this but in an oven. Have you ever done them on the Traeger? My other suggestion would be just to scoop the innards out and leave some of that wonderful mustard behind, not washing it away.

[@TugTrashOutdoors]

Yeah I did baked garlic crabs in a previous video and the were great!

[@pizzulo8111]

You better be using that Cajun Two Step! It's money dude!

I haven't seen anyone on you tube use the trick my father taught me growing up crabbing at the Atlantic Highlands in NJ. Take a can of cheap cat food, and punch some holes in it and put it in the trap. The oils and smell attracts the crabs like crazy. We always went home with at least 2 bushells full of crab. We also used chicken as bait. we would use metal wire to tie it to the bottom of the trap.
