8" Crab, Finally!

Type: Tidal
Region: Southern
Location: West/Rhode River

I, �CRABBERMANJL� (aka Jim Livingston) went out with my son Bryan and my good friend, Shawn Wilson, running the trot line. We used a 1,000 ft trot line and caught a total of 2 bushels, some real nice ones, again dark and dirty (130 total crabs). We used fresh chicken necks 3-1/2hrs 6:58-10:32.

The biggest one was 8�. We finally got one! We had a lot of 6-1/2�-7� crabs. We threw many legal paper shells back to fatten up for next week. We didn't catch many little ones and females. No doublers this time.
