@thecookinguy its been 2 years... are u at the pier?

@RonScheel1 I call BS - i doubt you would ever see anyone pulling claws off of crabs in a public place. and if you did, did you call the game warden? since you didnt make the call, you are also responsible! and crabs lose claws all the time. its a part of the crabs life. Ive pulled up plenty that were missing the claws. Feed you BS elsewhere.

I was there a few days ago on vacation and I was at the public peer and damn near half the crab I caught were missing there claws. I sat there and watched serveral locals puuling claws off and keeping females and indersized males, its a shame

Where was this at? My bro in law and I fish the Abby St Pier. Good times starting to get crabbin' fever now lol =)~.......As far as keeping undersized or female's its not worth the fines if you get caught so we always throw them back.

It's a lot of fun tossing small red rock crabs over onto that private dock to feed the racoons. They crunch'em up shell and all.

Man, crabbing in newport is the best! alot of fun. My uncle has a boat were we go farther out in the bay and drop off our crab cages, and pick them up in 30 minutes, to an hour later.

Fantastic video. What I admire the most is that you follow the conservation guidelines. A lot of yahoos here post crabbing vids that show them harvesting undersized or female crabs. Great to come across one that ensures there will be crabs for future generations.
