Using 100+ Chicken Necks for BAIT! (CRAZY RESULTS)

Using 100 chicken necks as fishing bait: what could go wrong!? We are using a fishing rig called a Trotline to go crabbing and catch some Maryland Blue Crabs. Would you consider using 100 raw chicken necks to go catch some crabs? Let me know down below!
So this week, we are trying something we’ve never done before: we are using a trotline to catch live crabs. We have the rig, we have the boat, we have the chicken necks. Sounds easy enough, right? Hopefully, we will be about to catch a bushel so that we can take them home to cook for our family. This was such a crazy experience and one I can’t wait to repeat!

@xoxol0l where do you fish ? :))

[@nategfishes9990]

Quick tip, if u leave blue crabs upside down they will die and not taste good. Also in between runs put a damp towel over ur basket of crabs👍

[@777sgiles]

What about putting them on ice? Will they still be good?

[@maddierosemusic]

@@777sgiles If you put them in a cooler of ice, the ice will melt and the crabs will die in the water on the bottom. A wet towel on top of your basket to keep the sun off works.

[@victorlorraine6596]

[@AnthrozoologyTV]

When scooping with the net, I'd suggest already having the net in the water as you approach the crab, as much as possible. Crabs have very good eyes and they see the shaddow and movement of the net then the loud sudden spash will of the net causes them to let go of the bait and jump away. Crabbing is always tons of fun! Great video 👌

[@misplacedcajun2325]

It is heartwarming to see such a lovely young couple. It seems like you are having fun together and I would imagine you enjoy simple pleasures quite often. Thanks for showing us that life is what you make it! Your wife is so lovely and I also really love the fact that swearing isn't part of your fun!! Y'all seem so wholesome and it is really nice to see these days!! I wish you both many, many years of blissful marriage.

[@HeySkipper]

Oh thank you so much! Your message is so kind! Thank you so much for watching and supporting :)

[@mecheledawson4262]

How fun! I've never seen it done that way before. We always used crab traps that you fill with food toss overboard and haul them up on a rope by hand, on the west coast. You had to pull them up really fast or they would escape out of the trap and get away...lol! We even spilled our basket of crab in the dingy once and all of us had flip-flops or sandals on. We were dancing our feet around that bottom, like cats on a hot tin roof....lol! This brought back so many memories, and great times....thanks to you both!

[@bassmonsterw998]

At first i did not understand why you did not use traps. But then a saw the fun you and she had. I will try this. Thanks

[@saxon6]

A friend described trot-lining for crabs, but seeing makes it make sense. It's cool to watch you guys have so much fun.

[@airecraft1]

Awesome job. A few tips if you’d like. Try adding a section of fine mesh in your net to block bait from getting snagged. Fowl necks are tougher than chicken necks , either can be cut in half and it helps cut down on tangles . Go get em

[@greggilbert540]

Great job on the trot line! Before you cook the crabs there are 2 things you could do. One would be putting them in a cooler of ice water .That makes them easier to handle. Also cleaning them first makes eating them a lot better. You don't have the mustard to deal with.

[@georgecrosby113]

Thanks for the memories!!! I grew up on the Severn, and fished and crabbed that exact area many times with my late Dad.

[@tonitouchberry894]

OMG! I love to go crabbing! When I was a kid we would go to a small oyster and mangrove island, on the inland coastal waterway in Daytona Beach! Chicken necks on the end of a string and a pole net! Back then we caught big restraunt pots full!

Where she is strong, I am weak and where she is weak, I am strong. Its amazing how that works out. As to the video, I LOVE crabs and I am happy to see the video on how to catch them and also how to cook them. Keep up the great work.

[@twisterdavemd1]

My son and I were fishing there yesterday morning; glad to see you had a good run. A few weeks ago, the Severn was full of juveniles, and people were throwing back 20 undersized for every 1 keeper. Couple of things to add: an easy way to tell females as you bring the line up - females have "painted nails" - their claws are red, while males are all blue-green. Keeping them on ice does slow them down, but don't let them drown in the meltwater. Before cooking, always cull the catch for dead crabs - move a leg or lift the apron. A dead crab can spoil in as few as 15 minutes, and will not only wreak havoc on your GI tract, but can be deadly to those with weak immune systems. Never cook a dead crab.

[@ichibansoto]

Hey Skipper! I was a bit confused as to why you were checking the line so quick...then I saw the third crab come up 😮 I got up and started to cheer for more! Cool way to catch some dinner.

I love you guys. Your energy is awesome and I always look forward to seeing the next video. Down on the Texas coast we have a blue crab as well. When we were kids we were shown how to put the crabs to sleep. Flip them on there back and lightly rub their belly , it puts them to sleep. It was cool as a kid , but as an adult I enjoy catching them and eating them to. Be safe my friends.

[@Vulcaneer900]

When I was a kid, I visited my Grandmother in Maryland and she took me crab fishing. We use Chicken Legs. We tied them onto a cotton string and fished from a doc. You could see the Crabs move in and grab the legs. Once they grab hold they won't let go. You just lift them up off the bottom and scoop them up with a net, as you guys did. We brought back a batch of about 50 Big Ones. Ummm, Good Eatin.!!!
