Here’s a little something I miss from our old fishin’ day–the crab who gets hauled into your boat while trying to steal your bait, and then wants to make an issue of it. These little fellows can be feisty! The big ones we kept–yum, yum!–but the small ones got a talking-to and tossed back into the water.
Note the silly hormad in this video tempting the crab with his finger. He’d’ve sung a different tune if the crab had caught him!
Silly person, but a very pretty crab 🙂
You could describe the looks of that crab as one of the creatures in the bell Mountain series – he is quite the extraterrestrial type.
What a scene! To the crab, that was a big deal, to the human, a tiny crab that was essentially harmless because of its size. I’d never seen a blue crab before, they are quite beautiful.
That was a female crab, and both males and females grow a lot bigger than that. Absolutely delicious meat!
