Hey all,
well it has been funny couple days crabbing, set the pots Tuesday and checked Wednesday morning in the pouring rain. first 3 pots were full but no success, the last pot was the jackpot, 1 really nice muddie and one that was definitely a measure and FULL, he was chocolate brown and had barnacles all over him….
While I'm returning the rest of the catch,I'm thinking of a cold beer and a feed of muddies, and that's were it all went wrong. While I'm gently releasing a caught flipper on a big jenny the FULL crab worth a measure sneakily got to the opening and I hear splash..GONE. Oh well at least the keeper one is safe.
Rather then take the good crabs out and then just empty the pots like I would do every other time I decide in my infinite wisdom to just flick the jenny out and the keeper will stay tucked away at the bottom of the crab pot waiting to go home and get cooked, except the jenny got caught and the keeper just popped through the opening.
I'd put a whole a gorilla on the table wright now that I won't do that again… When I got home and told my wife, she laughed and said why didn't you just take the good ones out like you normally do?
Have a safe easter everyone and listen to your wife!
