- Blue Crabs, In this video we were out prospecting fot new Blue Crab spots. After stopping at several potential crabbing spots we found this one and the Blue Crabs were Huge. The Blue Crabs would not go into our ring drop traps for some reason, so we tried to catch them with handlines and it worked. We didn't have very much time to crab but we did end up with 5 Jumbos and found this great spot. Catch and Cook #bluecrabs #catchingbluecrabs #cookingbluecrabs

Wow. Amazing to know crabs that big in Florida. Love prospecting for new spots and finding ones that are loaded. Good luck with storm.
We do too, prospecting is part of the fun. Just sitting here waiting for Ian. Thanks again for Watching
Hand lining blue crabs!!!!! Unbelievable. Insta subscriber. You two are adorable. Love the banter and love the cooking.

Thank you and Thanks for Watching
WOW !!!!
Thanks
We don't have them that big in
Maryland!!! We are for 🦀 here 😋 yum
Those we're the largest we've caught consistently in Florida, they were all big. Thanks a lot for Watching, Mary
Now they are huge, and I bet great eating too. Happy for you both 👌🇬🇧🇬🇧 dond get crabs like them in the UK
Are there any crabs in the UK?
And yall always make a great meal.
Thanks Tim
im from Maryland and really like to see how people crab and cook from other parts of the country great video and hope all is well. i have some family in the tampa area and besides losing power they are doing well.
Shane, we're not very consistent in the way we cook our crabs we try all different ways, when we get a suggestion from a viewer we try it or think up a new way to make cooking them more interesting. We got lucky with the hurricane, we had a lot of wind but no damage and no flooding. Thanks a lot for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors since im feom maryland i like to steam them the whole crab but my father is from Louisiana so i do boil them from time to time but i do prefer steaming them. but I'm so glad to hear you guyz made it threw the hurricane well!!!!
Love the video’s! Wife and I started crabbing after watching yall! Now we hooked! Live near meridian, ms but we drive down to Biloxi and go crabbing! Bought traps and are having fun!! Those were huge crabs!!
Biloxi has some great crabbing and you'll have some great eating. Glad our videos helped you get out and have fun together, crabbing. Thanks again for Watching
i was shocked at how much crab prices, in northern va, went up over the years, so for a year i refused to buy them, but my lifelong addiction to blue crab finally took over and i started to buy them for as much as 120 to 150 a dozen (for extra large to jumbo) in gainesvillle va, then found a place that sends them on line, quite tasty but well over 100 a dozen also, then i found a place in oxon hill md, called Captain White’s who were selling live or freshly steamed jumbos for just 69 a dozen. it is a deal compared to the other choices.. but then they raised their price to 79 a dozen, still way better than the others, but they do slip in some medium and large, vs jumbo, but most were jumbo and quite good. but YOU get them for free, other than your time and the cost of some chicken. can you please adopt me and my hubby. we are 58 and 59 years old. lol.
I guess we can, we have kids about your age lol. I didn't realize blue crabs were that expensive, we don't keep track of prices.
OMG THOSE CRABS 🦀 ARE HUGE!!! Keep that spot a secret lol 😂 Thanks for sharing and be safe 🙏😘🙏😘🙏
Right that's our secret spot. The wind is howling
Checking on you guys, stay safe!!
Thanks for checking on us Deloris. We're just sitting here waiting for Ian
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors well buckle down. I been watching all day. I been trying 2 pin point where you guys are at. I hear ya'll say Big Bend & St. John's River alot. I pray ya'll get through this safely.
We're in Volusia County and we have a trailer over Suwannee in the Big Bend. We travel around a lot fishing and crabbing, sometimes going to Biloxi Mississippi and crab.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors good morning, will you be in the path of the storm? Please let me know that you are safe once it passes. Pray there will be no damage 🙏
We got lucky and never lost power even with 80 mph wind only some flooding in the yard but not in the house. Thanks for your concern
Some of the largest Blue Crabs I have seen for sure! Great job guys and take care!
Thanks Jeff
wow, so, he reached in the cooler with his bare hands, your wife is soooo much like me, i would warn you over and over. my hubby needs to be wrapped in bubble wrap, lol. he is always getting hurt or cuts, but he would never wrangle a crab, so i dont have to worry about that, lol
Those crabs can be nasty lol. Glad you enjoy our videos
Super crabbing. What fun. Super sized crabs. I have only caught one like that. Stay safe.
We were lucky to find that spot, all jumbo crabs and smart crabs. Thanks again for Watching Rowdy
For the price of Chicken they need to be Big Crabs. Enjoyed it
Chuck, they sometimes would eat the chicken to the bone before we can catch one, smart crabs.
You have good food and good luck.
Thank you Youssef and Thanks a lot for Watching our videos
Nice catch
Thanks, and Thanks again for Watching
Great video! Stay safe!
Thanks Eric we're trying. Thanks again for Watching
Hoping you guys are okay! Ian is really dropping some rain!
Nice crabs!
We're just waiting for Ian to get here we're right on the path and they were nice crabs.
That first crab is enormous!!
We don't know why at that spot they're so big. Thanks again for Watching
god bless you both
Thank you Richard
Guys, get some Louisiana Fish Fry seasoning made in Baton Rouge - that will make those crabs fantastic!! Also - a crawfish burner will go a lot faster.
JC
BR, La
We'll try it
You all be safe threw this storm. We're getting some wind but nothing big yet. Looks like about 10pm they say we will start getting some bad weather around Sumpter County.
We had some bands with about 50mph wind the worst here is supposed to be about 2 am. Good luck and stay safe
Ya need to become a crab guide friend I'd blindfold them then take em. But man you could make a killing. Ahem! What's the rate? Wink wink. Beautiful. Again.
Post some video of the storm...wishing you the best
I was but by the time we got everything tied down it got real nasty, maybe tomorrow. Thanks again for Watching
Hunker down and stay safe! I haven’t seen Bluecrabs that big since trot lining in the Everglades.
We're just sitting here waiting for Ian hoping for the best. Those crabs were the largest we've caught in years. Thanks again for Watching
Wow! They are huge! Up here in Maryland, we call those"Whales"! but they are really bigger than the whales I've seen!
I like that name, perfect for those crabs. Thanks a lot for Watching
Those are beauties. My stomach is growling.
They were big crabs Jeff, Thanks again for Watching
😳😲😲😊👍👋
Be careful guys. That looks like a good place for gators. Don't get any mud on Joyce if you want supper tonight Sam. lol A 4 inch long claw and a 20 inch wingspan...WOW... what a blue crab. Great job goys.
The gators are everywhere here in Florida, you just have to be careful.
Very pretty crabs! I’ve been watching the hurricane coverage all day. We have a ground floor condo in Naples ☹️. I hope it isn’t too bad where you and Joyce are!
It didn't hit us yet Lucia I'm sitting here answering comments waiting. Good luck with your condo. They were giant crabs
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I care about you two. Please let me know how you fare. I will let you know too.
We got very lucky Lucia we didn't lose power even with 80 mph wind, the lake came way up but not to the house. Thanks a lot for caring
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors what good news! So many are suffering in Florida.
I have never tried blue crab before and would love to go crabbing with you folks!!!
Barbie, we think blue crabs are the best tasting of all crabs. Thanks a lot for Watching
Me neither. I love to catch, cook crab, but sadly we don’t get blue crab here in the UK. Although we do get the common brown crab which can grow too real monster sizes and have huge claws, especially the males. And spider crab which is so sweet and delicious they don’t really need any seasoning.
Only try them during full moon phase. That is when they are full. It's actually quite neat to start at the beginning of a cycle and watch how the pockets of meat ebb and wane as the moon runs its cycle each month.
@@philortiz7519 now that is interesting. I never knew that about that particular species.
@@matty6848 yes its true. I used to commercial crab. Worked with shrimper to. Found out about it from old veterans of the commercial trade. Then I tied it and learned it was true to. Trust me when I say crabs are full and I mean full of meat on full moon cycle. Always cycle your crabbing trips on full moon cycle. You will be amazed at the quantity of meat in them. Making myself hungry for them again. Lol.
I was thinking 🤔 the same thing.... Nuke 🦀 Crabs..
Something made them so big LOL. Thanks again for Watching
You guys are the best! quick question. would you be willing to share your roll recipe you use for crab sandwiches?
We plan on making a bread and roll making video. Thanks for Watching our videos
Hi, guys take care be safe🙏🏻
Thank you Mayra
Stay safe.. Great spot keep it secret
It is a great spot the least likely place we tried that day, you never know. Thanks again for Watching
🦀🦀🦀 Ft. Pierce
Thanks Robert
Very entertaining! You should show how you break apart the crab to eat it
Also hope you don’t have too much damage. Stay safe
We do have a video called, Blue Crab Meat, No More Shells that shows some crab cleaning. We were very lucky with the hurricane we didn't lose power and the flooding didn't get into our house. Thanks for caring.
Those crabs looked big that's awesome ,try putting cut in half onions and sausage in pot also ,you might like !
We'll try it Crystal thanks for the tip
What is the drill holes in the chicken bones just a couple Then we did inject stuff into the bone marrow marrow we experiment of a lot had a lot of fun Swarm of them down about some Sort of down About others
New to the channel those were some huge crabs. Being a lover of the blues I would have a field day eating those guys. Wish you had a vid of yall eating them. I would've liked to see how much meat those claws had. I bet they were good and sweet.
That's the first time we caught Blue Crabs that all of them were between 81/4 and 7 inches. They did have very tasty meat. Welcome to our Channel
Brings back great memories of crabbing on LI as a kid. Very interested to see you clean your crabs before cooking. What time is dinner?! New sub
To Tell you the truth when I'm out on the water it also brings back memories to me, I think that's why I enjoy it so much. Thanks a lot for Subscribing we really appreciate it
Yep I’m amazed. Was wondering if the water is deep enough to throw a lobster pot in there to see if they will fit in a trap that size?
We were thinking of getting one of those half traps and throwing it in. Thanks for Watching
Dont know where you are in Florida but keep your heads down.Praying for yall.
We're right in the path of Ian, I'm just answering comments waiting. Thanks a lot for Watching
Wow Sam.
You should of did a wall mount with that big one. That was one trophy crab. Did you find more meat in the claws compared to the other large ones?
That spot you have just looks like a mud hole...lol
Great trip. I wonder why they wouldn't go in the crab traps!
Tight lines
That was our least likely spot, they seem very smart for crabs, they won't touch the chicken in them. Good luck with the storm, I'm just sitting here answering comments waiting for the worst part to come. Take care
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors I'm working on a cooking video from the mackerel I caught last week. Might give you something to watch...lol
We'll be looking forward to watching.
I really wish that I could catch crabs ..... But I've never seen a blue crabs I live in northern California and the place where we have to go crabbing is called Pacifica Pier in Pacifica California out by San Francisco there's no other place to go crabbing where my fiance and I live great video of you guys getting those blue crabs keep up the great videos I've watched every one of your videos
I'm not sure where they are but you can catch big blue crabs from Texas to Maryland. South Florida and the keys is a little too hot for them.
@@JamesJones-cx5pk I live in northern California far away from those places would be great if I could travel there but at the moment I can't
Thanks again for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors love watching your videos
Thanks Sandra
Praying you are safe from hurricane
We were lucky, we didn't lose power even in 80 mph wind we just had some flooding in the yard but not in the house. Thanks for your concern
Looks like Maryland crabs
Right Gary, they must eat all the little ones
Hi guys just a quick question do you or have you have or ever tried the soft shell crabs you can catch in the U.S. I understand you cover in flower and fry the whole thing, body and legs etc. just curious what they taste like and how they go down with the soft shells?
You can't beat Soft Shell Crabs they're very very good. Thanks again for Watching
How y’all doing Sam and Joyce? 🙏🙏🙏 prayers continue
We made it out ok, didn't lose power even with 80 mph wind just some flooding in the yard, didn't get to the house, we were lucky. Thanks for your prayers Alice.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors just had a chance to watch this video and I am so glad to hear you two are ok. May be a while before you can go back there again.
Thanks Michael, we'll see how all that fresh water affects the crabbing.
3:35 me again, omg, im soooo happy that i found your channel yesterday.. ok, so, my question is, dont you have to keep them cold, maybe on ice, or can you keep them in the bucket for a while in the heat? im only about 1/4 the way through your video so i will keep watching to see if you address that, but wow, love this video. cant wait to see them all as i catch up here.
It depends how hot it is, we caught some in Biloxi and kept them in a cooler for 2 days and didn't lose a crab, that was last November during our Anniversary trip, we just covered them with a wet burlap bag. In the summer when it's very hot we sometimes put ice at the bottom of the cooler and the burlap bag on top of the ice then the crabs. You don't want to let them get to the ice water or else they'll drown.
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors wow, i didnt know they can drown, since i thought they lived mostly under water. so, that an interesting tid bit of info, thx.
Please show how you clean the crabs,we usually cook and then clean and pick the meat.
John, we show how to clean them in some older videos but we'll do it again. We like to clean them first because they're less messy to eat when cleaned. Thanks again for Watching
Love crab, but probably only person in the world who doesn't like Old Bay. Give me a little crab boil or Tony Chacherres-mild.
Linda I'm sure there's lots of people who don't like it. The best way we ever cooked crabs was when we were catching dungeness crabs in Oregon we boiled them in water right out of the Pacific. Thanks again for Watching
Where is this place 🙏🏽
How much before the hurricane was this
About a week Evelyn,
Thanks again for Watching
Where can I get those clips that hold the bait ?
You can get them on eBay or you can use a metal shower curtain ring. Thanks for Watching our videos
The cribs I was telling you about in South Jersey by Moby dicks or Route 109 if you go in December they’re in the mud but they come out we put box traps out and they are just about twice as big as the biggest one that you got I never saw cribs like that in my wife to an old time it took me and I thought he was crazy to go out in the winter time I wish I had a picture of them crabs you would be amazed they called sea crabs they only come in in the wintertime buried them selves in the mud to lay their offspring and then I return to the deep ocean so I’m told
They'll be some good crabbing after this storm or no?
We'll see in a couple of days Tashika
Wear are you catching them?
The Oak Hill area, Thanks a lot for Watching
How did you all do with the hurricane? Hope you all are fine.
Sandy, so far ok but we're on a lake and it's still rising from all the drainage we'll see in a couple of days. Thanks for asking
Would you mind sharing the spot? I would love to join you..
Lol
The Oak Hill area. Thanks for Watching
How you guys doing......
🦀🦀🦀 Ft. Pierce
We got lucky Robert, lots of wind and rain but no serious damage or flooding
WHERE IN FLORIDA DO YOU GO CRABBING?
The St Johns River, Tomoka basin and lots of other spots. Thanks for Watching
tell me where is that spot at my wife would love that
Oak Hill, Thanks for Watching
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors OK WHERE IS OAK HILL AND HOW TO GET TO THE SPOT ARE YOU IN FLA INM IN ORLANDO FL
Have you ever made crab cakes?
Yes Janet, we have a video out making crab cakes with lots of crab meat. Thanks again for Watching
They remind me of the mud crabs that you see on the island nations overseas they just like that I wonder if it’s the same species of crab even though they look like blue claw Tara cousin probably because they are much bigger don’t you think so
There's something different about them George but they're fun to catch
@@TheOldCoupleOutdoors The main thing is you enjoy catching him and I enjoyed watching you I’m glad you are safe I thought you were right in the storm had me worried
George, we were right in the storm, we just got lucky some of our neighbors still don't have power, none of our trees blew down and no water came into our house even though there was flooding. Cleaning up today outside and maybe in a couple of days we can go crabbing.
SHOULD PUT OLD BAY ON CRABS BEFORE PUTTING IN WATER
We'll try it Kevin, Thanks a lot for Watching
you do throw the females back right
The small ones, the commercial guys keep them all, it's legal in Florida. In some areas it's about 75 percent females, in the St Johns you catch mostly males.
