Caught a Case of Crabs Thursday…

66 comments



… and this time it didn’t involve a bottle of Southern Comfort and a Phi Mu coed I met at the Kappa Sigma fraternity rush.*



KatyBeth had a great time. This is her kind of fishing; tie a freezer-burned chicken leg to a 10 foot length of string, pitch said chicken leg it into a couple feet of water, and notify Daddy when the string starts to move out to sea.



One of the catch.



We snapped this one to show the distinctive markings of blue crabs, but it does a better job of demonstrating what happens to idiots who don’t frequently reapply their sunblock, don’t you think?


*Just kidding, folks. Those girls were rich enough they didn’t have crabs. They had lobsters.

    Wow, I've never had that many blue crabs in one day. I hand line in Wildwood, NJ every summer but the most I brought home was 26.

    Holy Crap Dude!! We're only allowed 50 crabs per person per day up here in the Peoples Republic of New York. That's an awesome haul. I take it you steamed them with lots of Old Bay Seasoning?

    I'm just glad you were picking the carcasses and not me. I swore them off last time I boiled and picked a couple of dozen for homemade crab cakes. 2 hours of work for a half lb of meat…nah, once was enough!Enjoy!
