Thanks for taking us along on your Florida working vacation. It was great fun to see your dad there with you. I was surprised at the end that you and your dad tasted the Old Bay seasoned lobster first. To me, once I’ve tasted the seasoned one, the I unseasoned would pale in comparison seeming to then need seasoning. I’d not have a good sense of the bare lobster flavor to compare. Anyways - it looks like y’all had bunches of fun on what we’d call a ‘busman’s holiday’. Cheers!
This was such a fun trip! Had a great time watching. My brother in law is a Maine lobster man and will be going to Florida to visit family soon. I should have him try the Florida lobster and see what he thinks.
This is what my grandfather did, he was a spiny lobster fisherman and his boat was docked on Stock Island. Every summer, from age 13-17, I was baiting, scrubbing, and pulling traps. Wooden traps (like in your video), not wire, and no one would believe how crusty they can get after a season. It's crazy. Edit: I would give almost anything to work one more season with my abuelo; pulling traps, drinking Ironbeer, and eating Cuban Mix sandwiches, all while cutting up and having a good time. Man, I loved it so much.
Jacob, your father is THE epitome of a Downeast Mainer! Dryer than a burnt boot but absolutely hilarious! I'm glad you guys did this trip and must say your videos are top notch and are as good as any on CZcams! Make a fellow Mainer/Downeaster proud!
Im a 56 year old Aussie sheila who has never seen let alone eaten a Maine lobster....and Im actually deadly allergic to seafood of any kind......but your videos both fascinate and amuse the hell out of me. Thanks.
@@That_ViperDude um...you do get what a deadly allergy means...yes? I dont think I'd travel all the way from Western Australia to Maine just so I can eat something that will unalive me, thanks all the same.
Need to know more of your dads stories and lore about the 🐖 You can't just say "I could go on and on..." and then leave it at that. Go on, please tell me the stories. 😊
@@GiveMeAYesNobullshit pigs can swim theres an island that has pigs that no one knows how they got there and they regularly swim they are so oily that when a heard moves into the bay it oil slicks the water and attracts sharks yet the sharks dont eat the pigs regularly its a stable population they are not like boar they are regular farm looking pigs look it up
Lath traps are interesting. That platform was something else! So different. Now you’ve got to try California lobster fishing and Australian lobster fishing!
@@Motivatual Just about every vacation I’ve been on has included talking to lobster people. The Australian fishery is VERY expensive to get into! I’m from the California fishery. Very small limited entry. (Retired)
I was thinking the Dungeness crab on the west coast, too. First time I was in Maryland & I heard "a bushell of crabs & a hammer," I wondered what the HECK was going on. 😂
Jacob people support you because your just pure hearted and we all just love that so I'm sure everyone can agree with me just keep being as pure hearted as you have always have been
My dad and I ran 800 lobster , 300 crab traps for years and then handlined in the off season and dove for tropical fish and salvage never a dull moment for a fisherman in the Keys. There was money to make and even more to spend we moved away in the late 70s . There’s more way to cook Florida lobster than Buba Gump shrimp all of them good. Back then you could spot a old crabber because he was missing a finger or two we used sardines cans punched with a ice pick the crabs would crush them down like a steam roller had ran over them. Great video thanks for bringing back memories.
I was shocked when you two just plucked the claws and threw the crab back into the water 😳😳, but after hearing Jesse's explanation I was relieved (so that's the way for sustainable stone crab fishing! 👀👀). I have yet to eat a Maine lobster 😔, though I've eaten spiny lobsters a few times (and yeah, they are not too shabby! 😂😺). I like them best with sweet spicy sauce, it's just ✨awesome✨. I love both crab and lobster, though at where I am now crab is a bit more affordable than lobster...
The look on your Dad's face when he saw the curly tailed farm animals feet was priceless. I was so surprised he got on the boat. The boat also looked sketchy. I'm glad you made it back. I know fishermen/sailors have so many superstitions! Those Southern lobsters are so freaky looking I don't think I could eat one. Thanks for all your videos love them!
Every shot of your dad just smiling on the side of the boat riding through the water was the most adorable thing ever! Such genuine bliss and happiness in his element. Love to see this, and really appreciate your channel!🦞🤍
That looked delicious at the end! But the battle of the crabs isn't over unless you've had a PNW dungeoness crab. Snow crab, king crab, rock crab, the unmentionable crabs, and the krusty krab all take a back seat to a fresh caught dungie.
Okay… you have to help out us non-fishing, non-seafood loving people here. What? and where from is PNW? Snow crab? “Unmentionable?” I’m guessing rock crab is what we just saw, yes? But no idea of Krusty Krab (although I’ve definitely dated some!)… and then the final “dungie”… is that another one or is that back to the first PNW one? Just a side note…. So I’m from New Brunswick, Canada (just north of Maine), and we’ve got some awesome lobster there that goes worldwide (unfairly to Maine in some ways that none of us are happy about… well maybe some lobster fishers in Atlantic Canada are, but overall we’d like Canada to adopt some Maine rules and make us all working for the same sustainability goal, but that’s another story). I was brought up where lobster was a “forced” meal for us kids… I am okay with it now, but still NOT a huge fan and that’s why I’m limited in my crab knowledge. I tried Alaskan king, wasn’t fond of it and have avoided crab altogether. Now in my 50’s… I’ve opened up and want to try some alternative crab (& Caribbean lobster). This is why I’m asking about the crab names you’ve used… never heard of most of them. I’d say I know about Chesapeake crab (blue I think?), of course Alaskan king and I think Deadliest Catch showed another crab they went after when king was out of season… big can’t remember the name. Long comment. But you seemed like the right one to ask after all those you listed! 🤣😜 Thanks in advance! 👍🏼☮️
@@ricktaylor4real PNW = Pacific Northwest. It's a blanket name for Oregon, Washington, and most of BC. I do have to agree, the dungeness (aka dungie) is delicious. Lots of meat, good sweetness, and just overall tasty.
I have never eaten lobster. I am Jewish and keep kosher so all shellfish is off limits. And yet, watching you remove barnacle and then giving them a knot and a snack - it was so oddly satisfying. I Googled barnacles - what a crazy animal. I’m still never eating lobster - but I am learning so much. So - if you can get someone like me to subscribe - you must be doing something right.
@@ebriggs3498 That saying for certain land and sea animals has never made sense to me, considering all of the other commonly eaten land and sea animals that eat the exact same or “worse”…
Good to learn that the stone crab claws are what to try in Florida! Great video, and enjoyed seeing another lobster fisherman. I'm a little sad they don't allow the smaller lobsters free from the trap. It'd be cool if they freed all but two, that might be sufficient to keep as bait, for sustainability
That shot of your dad on the boat while you're headed back..he was so happy. Like the water really is a place of peace for him.❤ Love your content. You've actually made me a fan of lobster...but breaking those claws was hard to watch 😂😂 also..no snacks are given in Florida. That's why Main lobster is better. They are appreciative lobsters 😂
Jacob, I'm going to go ahead and speak for everyone here, we would love to see more content like this! Particularly you jumping on other commercial boats, I wanna see ya shrimpin' next!!!
From a fellow Maine Lobsterman, this is awesome Jacob! I’ve always wanted to experience what it’s like hauling in the keys! Funny enough, my sister now lives islamorada !
Woot-woot! I'm a Floridian, and happy to see you made it down to the Keys and did some fishing (trap collecting etc) and some taste testing to compare are our Southern crabbies and cranky-lobsters. I agree that you can't beat a well cooked fresh batch of stone crab claws! Dee-Lish!!! And Yep, fresh Florida Lobster ain't no slouch either! haha.
As a fellow maine lobsterman, it was cool to see how they do it down in Florida. Funny enough, ive always heard of the pig thing but never have i actually fished witha captain that lived by it.
I was today years old when I found out that there are different kinds of lobster. It’s also interesting the compromise of saving the rest of the crab and taking limbs they can regrow. Crab truly is a remarkable life form.
Jacob ! You were way more polite than I would have been ! I hate warm water lobsters with a passion 😂 they don't compare to cold water lobsters at all !!! If I was given a choice between the two I would take the Maine lobsters and pay quadruple for the Maine lobsters without a doubt 😂😂😂
you and the guy replying are really getting to me forget which tastes best, I live in the UK and have had lobster once (frozen, about 1,lb- it was expensive and was like bubble gum but with a nasty flavour after my second bite I gave it to my neighbours pets an they seemed to enjoy it but dogs will eat their own poop so that doesn't say much, I would love to have freshly caught lobster cooked properly and experience the real thing 👍
Ive only ever heard of bananas being bad luck on a boat when i lived down in Florida. We often keep a can of Spam as an amulet of luck to ward off bad storms and hurricanes. Its just Florida being Florida i guess.
Hearing Jacob keep saying "ours" and "yours" made me think of the Pilot of the Sopranos when Chrissie and that Czech mobster were talking about sausages in the back of Sal's. Glad it went better for everyone here than it did for Emil.
I’m from Florida and I love your ME lobster vids and going there myself. This video reminded me how much I take for granted our local fisheries and seafood…it brought me joy to see how much you enjoyed everything about our local lobster and stone crabs!
I'm just glad your Dad made it. I can't imagine having to tell everyone, pig's feet did him in! Also was I worried about your eyes, for no reason, around those lobsters? They look like they could give you 0/0 vision? On their backs, they really give that Alien/Thing movie vibe.😂 Thanks Jacob, and Friends.
Sailors often tattoo pigs and roosters for GOOD luck. Back in the day they transported those animals in crates, when the ships shanks the crates would float and give the sailors something to float on.
I enjoyed this video very much as I lived in the Florida Keys for 10 years. I had a 25 1/2 foot sportfisherman boat that I used for scuba diving, fishing, cruising, and full moon watch parties. It was the most fun I have ever had in my life. My friends and I dived for lobsters, and I occasionally went out with a friend to help him pull his traps. I've had main lobster, and it is delicious, but I really like Florida lobster. I hope to get back to the Florida Keys to live, and this episode made me really homesick. But I enjoyed it thoroughly.
@@KrazyMitchAdventures oh, ok. I was thinking Alaskan king crab. Even so, I guess I never noticed any other crabs besides rock and dungeness in the regs, then again I wasn’t looking either.
@@stingray4540 the box crab IMO the meat is on par with Lobster, it is firm, tender, and tastes amazing. I've never been to Alaska, and have never had fresh Alaskan King crab.
Good to see you again. I loved your Dad's story about the pig fiasco. I am sorry about his buddy's loss. Those florida lobsters have lovely colors. Thanks for sharing youor adventure.
Hey Jacob, come down to Southern California to try lobster hooping here! Spiny lobster. The season is usually mid October to end of March. There’s trips that just do lobster hooping at night or a fishing and lobster combo trip at Catalina for pretty much full day.
A great fishing trip. Great to see your dad join you on your trip. He must be retired from fishing by now. Interesting to see the differences in lobster from maine, Nova Scotia area to Florida.
Great video! So many things to compare from the lobster traps to the crabs and lobsters. I really enjoyed learning from today's video. Plus, it was really entertaining.
Now you're in my neck of the woods! In Tampa now, but spent 20 years down there with my flat boat and sailboat. Lots of lobster. And I lived next to Joe's Stone Crab for a lot of those years. Good to see you guys on the home turf
My great grandfather was a Mississippi River commercial fisherman. I cannot imagine that being a thing now. I love seeing you and your dad share some quality time lobstering.
Hey Jacob, I love your vids and I respect you as a responsible fisherman. I would just like to mention how important Menhaden are to the survival of healthy marine ecosystems up and down the east coast. You call them pogies, where I live and fish we call them bunker. Bunker are an important source of food for striped bass, bluefish, dolphins, whales, eagles, osprey, sharks, otters, seals and many more marine species. They are very oily fish which is important to the predatory creatures that depend on them for food. I hope you Main lobster guys appreciate the importance of these fish when harvesting them. Where I live there are grass roots movements to protect the Menhaden population as they seem to be in decline. As I said, I respect you as a responsible lobsterman and I'm impressed by your work ethic. I thank you for following the quotas ( but I never trust quotas that are set by the government, usually based on spotty and incomplete data). Anyway, time will tell where all this goes. I wish you all the best!
Great video!! So good to see a new video. I’ve missed seeing them. Your dad is adorable!! I was proud of him getting on the boat. His accent is great!! It amazes me how different the lobsters look in Florida and Maine. It makes me want to get some seafood. Unfortunately I’m in Ohio, so I have to buy frozen. 💛
im from the UK and saw your channel, just come back from the keys, thank you so much for your amazing content. all the places on your videos we went. im so jealous! you are a top group of people
Me and my 3 year old son love your videos! My son now wants to go catch lobsters and crabs! Thanks for always keeping your videos family friendly! Keep up the good work!
Those lobsters oink. Like those pink trotters. Really enjoying your vacation and or work time in Florida. Learning something new. Thank you for sharing your hard work and time...really appreciate it.
Love this episode! Welcome to my home state. If you have time to fish...try getting a guide to fish for Peacock Bass in Miami! Down here dont bring bananas on a boat!
Bro, I watch so many of your videos. I watch you because you make great content. If fishing not great, you always find a way to make great content. Whether it be through boat challenges or being humane clipping barnacles off lobster or sponsors or whatever! I'm a subscriber because you create an awesome channel. Keep it up my brother!
Hi dad 👋 👋 👋 Hi Jacob 👋 👋 👋 Hi everyone else 👋 👋 👋 I was ALWAYS told if you aren't keeping the whole crab. To only take one claw. So at least the crab has a chance to defend it's self.
Awesome channel, enjoy it !! I'm a NORTHWEST SALMON fisherman! Just came back from fishing BUOY 10 at the mouth of the great COLUMBIA RIVER! We fish the brackish water of BUOY 10, where the CHINOOK salmon and COHO salmon enter the Columbia River and head up to spawn! The Fishery is dangerous and strong currents, extreme tides, and thick fog can make for a dangerous Fishery so be careful fisherman!. I love MAINE lobster myself, and I love the DUNGENESS crab of the Pacific Northwest!! Columbia River CHINOOK and COHO are delicious wild salmon! Tight Lines all!!
I love Islamorada, I snorkeled there my first time. So excited you and your Dad got to do that together. I hope you got a chance to enjoy other things there too. 🦀
Great video! 👍 TYVM for sharing Jacob!! 👏 I felt bad for your Dad!😳 Curly tail farm animal! What a story! 🤫🤭 How long did it take you to drive from Miami to Key West? I went once before. And that drive seemed like it took forever! 😂✌️❤️🦋🙏
I’m used to northern lobster 🦞 and first time I ate lobster in Mexico, it wasn’t my favourite to be polite. I’ve tried three different times and it was… totally different. But I had a giant crab and it was fantastic. I love that fishing game. You guys make my day every time. As a person who’s health has taken an unexpected 180 I have to live my life vicariously through channels like yours. Thanks for taking me to Florida. I did love the crab down there. I miss traveling.

This is what my grandfather did, he was a spiny lobster fisherman and his boat was docked on Stock Island. Every summer, from age 13-17, I was baiting, scrubbing, and pulling traps. Wooden traps (like in your video), not wire, and no one would believe how crusty they can get after a season. It's crazy.
Edit: I would give almost anything to work one more season with my abuelo; pulling traps, drinking Ironbeer, and eating Cuban Mix sandwiches, all while cutting up and having a good time. Man, I loved it so much.
Amen to just one more time but at least we got a chance to make the memories.
I had a friend who went to Vietnam ( 16:37 Army) rather than do another season on a crab boat. Not for everyone.
Wish I had a grandfather or even a dad growing up. Nice memories & Cuban pork sandwiches. ❤
Amen
I get you…memories like that are priceless- more precious than any tangible object ❤❤❤

Nothing better than spending time with your grown-up kid in whatever you were doing. At 75, I still consider my kids my best friends.
❤ I agree with you so much.
I agree I have a commercial service and my son has been working with me for 3 years now and it has been the best 3 years I have ever worked
The dads visible hatred of the bait is so funny, great channel
I hope the Florida fisherman comes up to Maine & tries out your trap lines & lobsters Jacob! Love to see that video!!
Please get Jesse up North to fish in the cold.
Guys very dry, maybe they could find another on with a bit more charisma and humor.
Im a 56 year old Aussie sheila who has never seen let alone eaten a Maine lobster....and Im actually deadly allergic to seafood of any kind......but your videos both fascinate and amuse the hell out of me. Thanks.
Go to Maine, buy some live lobster from local fisherman, and ask them the proper way to cook a lobster. Maine lobster is a life changing experience.

The circle is complete! He has gone from "snack, spa and release," to the "snap off claw and release!"
That looked delicious at the end! But the battle of the crabs isn't over unless you've had a PNW dungeoness crab. Snow crab, king crab, rock crab, the unmentionable crabs, and the krusty krab all take a back seat to a fresh caught dungie.
I'm not a big fan of king crab. I rather have snow. The rest I haven't tried. But being in Ohio, we are limited.
Try a Florida stone crab.
I'm a virginia boy living out in the PNW and I really hate dungeoness. The stringiness is so weird to me. I miss our Chesapeake blue crabs.

I'm just glad your Dad made it.
I can't imagine having to tell everyone, pig's feet did him in!
Also was I worried about your eyes, for no reason, around those lobsters? They look like they could give you 0/0 vision?
On their backs, they really give that Alien/Thing movie vibe.😂
Thanks Jacob, and Friends.
Jacob !My hero.Stuck in hospital ,peed off and I find this......thank YOU"
That sucks good luck bro
Honestly your dad is so wholesome, even tho there's curly tail animal legs as bait he still comes with you.
I love the fact that Jacob just started by putting up a video about a lobster he caught, and now we're here
Sailors often tattoo pigs and roosters for GOOD luck. Back in the day they transported those animals in crates, when the ships shanks the crates would float and give the sailors something to float on.
You going around the world and lobster fishing!!!! The content I didn't know I been wanting to see! Love it!
This guy and deer meat for dinner would make a dope colab
These lobsters look like the monster in the Alien movies!
I enjoyed this video very much as I lived in the Florida Keys for 10 years. I had a 25 1/2 foot sportfisherman boat that I used for scuba diving, fishing, cruising, and full moon watch parties. It was the most fun I have ever had in my life. My friends and I dived for lobsters, and I occasionally went out with a friend to help him pull his traps. I've had main lobster, and it is delicious, but I really like Florida lobster.
I hope to get back to the Florida Keys to live, and this episode made me really homesick. But I enjoyed it thoroughly.
Cool video. Nice trip. Good to meet your Dad. Thanks to Jessie for allowing you to video the whole thing 👍
@Jacob you have to come to the Pacific Northwest and try our crab, specifically the Puget Sound King Crab, and the Pacific Rock Crab.
There’s king crab in the puget sound?!
@@stingray4540 its scientific name is the Box Crab, but it is known as the Puget Sound King Crab to most Americans
@@KrazyMitchAdventures oh, ok. I was thinking Alaskan king crab. Even so, I guess I never noticed any other crabs besides rock and dungeness in the regs, then again I wasn’t looking either.
@@stingray4540 the box crab IMO the meat is on par with Lobster, it is firm, tender, and tastes amazing. I've never been to Alaska, and have never had fresh Alaskan King crab.
Good to see you again. I loved your Dad's story about the pig fiasco. I am sorry about his buddy's loss. Those florida lobsters have lovely colors. Thanks for sharing youor adventure.
That was 100 percent the most sarcastic "Ain't this a beauty" Ive ever heard.
Wow! What a fun trip. I love how you compared them to the ones you caught back home. Very good video. Love your videos.
This was fun!
Thanks for sharing your Florida experience with us. 👍🏼
Do they notch their female's tails in Florida too?
Lol it's florida, they don't give much of a shit
Those are no longer “P” feet... superstition safe, those are ‘Trotters’👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Hey Jacob, come down to Southern California to try lobster hooping here! Spiny lobster. The season is usually mid October to end of March. There’s trips that just do lobster hooping at night or a fishing and lobster combo trip at Catalina for pretty much full day.
A great fishing trip. Great to see your dad join you on your trip. He must be retired from fishing by now. Interesting to see the differences in lobster from maine, Nova Scotia area to Florida.
7:29 “but they’re fun to shoot” great answer
Great video! So many things to compare from the lobster traps to the crabs and lobsters. I really enjoyed learning from today's video. Plus, it was really entertaining.
7:15 Just an absolute look of pure disappointment and anxiety. Lmfao your dads gold
Awesome- you were here, great video! I've been diving and snorkeling, especially Pennekamp but never fishing like this! 😄
I don't eat fish, but something about this channel keeps me coming back for more content ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Omg your channel has almost one BILLION views now! That's insane! I'm proud of you bro, keep up the amazing work and spirit!!
What a difference in the calmness of the water there
Your Dad is so stinking cute! Y’all’s smiles are priceless ❤
Jacob we absolutely love to see your pop's in the video. He is so AWESOME! I enjoyed this one thoroughly!
Now you're in my neck of the woods! In Tampa now, but spent 20 years down there with my flat boat and sailboat. Lots of lobster. And I lived next to Joe's Stone Crab for a lot of those years. Good to see you guys on the home turf
Nice! Man your dad seems legit, I bet he has some great stories
My great grandfather was a Mississippi River commercial fisherman. I cannot imagine that being a thing now. I love seeing you and your dad share some quality time lobstering.
Hey Jacob,
I love your vids and I respect you as a responsible fisherman. I would just like to mention how important Menhaden are to the survival of healthy marine ecosystems up and down the east coast. You call them pogies, where I live and fish we call them bunker. Bunker are an important source of food for striped bass, bluefish, dolphins, whales, eagles, osprey, sharks, otters, seals and many more marine species. They are very oily fish which is important to the predatory creatures that depend on them for food. I hope you Main lobster guys appreciate the importance of these fish when harvesting them. Where I live there are grass roots movements to protect the Menhaden population as they seem to be in decline. As I said, I respect you as a responsible lobsterman and I'm impressed by your work ethic. I thank you for following the quotas ( but I never trust quotas that are set by the government, usually based on spotty and incomplete data). Anyway, time will tell where all this goes. I wish you all the best!
He is teaching his dad the art fishing. Nice!
Love this! I grew up fishing with my dad and seeing the two of you out there together having a great time brings back those memories.
Great video!! So good to see a new video. I’ve missed seeing them.
Your dad is adorable!! I was proud of him getting on the boat. His accent is great!!
It amazes me how different the lobsters look in Florida and Maine.
It makes me want to get some seafood. Unfortunately I’m in Ohio, so I have to buy frozen. 💛
Nothing from the Great Lakes?
@@capesquirt I’m in the furthest southern part of Ohio, a VERY small town so I’ve not seen fresh here
I just love this channel
If I was a younger man I’d move to Maine and ask for a job
im from the UK and saw your channel, just come back from the keys, thank you so much for your amazing content. all the places on your videos we went. im so jealous! you are a top group of people
Love you guys. So glad your Dad went with you too. Happy you had such a good day 😊
That's great, now have your southern friend come up to Maine!!!!!!!
Me and my 3 year old son love your videos! My son now wants to go catch lobsters and crabs! Thanks for always keeping your videos family friendly! Keep up the good work!
Those lobsters oink. Like those pink trotters. Really enjoying your vacation and or work time in Florida. Learning something new. Thank you for sharing your hard work and time...really appreciate it.
Love this episode! Welcome to my home state. If you have time to fish...try getting a guide to fish for Peacock Bass in Miami! Down here dont bring bananas on a boat!
Love that your dad came with you, hi from the UK👋
Bro, I watch so many of your videos. I watch you because you make great content. If fishing not great, you always find a way to make great content. Whether it be through boat challenges or being humane clipping barnacles off lobster or sponsors or whatever! I'm a subscriber because you create an awesome channel. Keep it up my brother!
Hi dad 👋 👋 👋
Hi Jacob 👋 👋 👋
Hi everyone else 👋 👋 👋
I was ALWAYS told if you aren't keeping the whole crab. To only take one claw. So at least the crab has a chance to defend it's self.
Awesome channel, enjoy it !!
I'm a NORTHWEST SALMON fisherman! Just came back from fishing BUOY 10 at the mouth of the great COLUMBIA RIVER! We fish the brackish water of BUOY 10, where the CHINOOK salmon and COHO salmon enter the Columbia River and head up to spawn!
The Fishery is dangerous and strong currents, extreme tides, and thick fog can make for a dangerous Fishery so be careful fisherman!.
I love MAINE lobster myself, and I love the DUNGENESS crab of the Pacific Northwest!! Columbia River CHINOOK and COHO are delicious wild salmon!
Tight Lines all!!
I love Islamorada, I snorkeled there my first time. So excited you and your Dad got to do that together. I hope you got a chance to enjoy other things there too. 🦀
Good for your dad. Bless his heart. I love him
What I enjoy about your channel is the love that you have for your profession. You have an excellent crew!!! How is the baby?
Nothing beats Maine lobster. I haven't tried stone crab claws but I'm going to look for them and give them a try. Fantastic video!
Great video! 👍 TYVM for sharing Jacob!! 👏
I felt bad for your Dad!😳 Curly tail farm animal! What a story! 🤫🤭
How long did it take you to drive from Miami to Key West?
I went once before. And that drive seemed like it took forever! 😂✌️❤️🦋🙏
Robert and Gabe Arrington wont get on a boat with having a banana for breakfast. 😂😂
Hi Dad!!!!!
I’m used to northern lobster 🦞 and first time I ate lobster in Mexico, it wasn’t my favourite to be polite. I’ve tried three different times and it was… totally different. But I had a giant crab and it was fantastic. I love that fishing game. You guys make my day every time. As a person who’s health has taken an unexpected 180 I have to live my life vicariously through channels like yours. Thanks for taking me to Florida. I did love the crab down there. I miss traveling.
