Crabbing Update

Well, our little "cwabbin' " trip wasn't tremendously successful yesterday - compared to the last one, but Jeremy did get a bit of a crab dinner last night. He captured one of the largest crabs he's caught to date. He was pretty happy about that. That one was a vicious little thing. He gave Jeremy a bit of a nerve rattling when it was time to pull him out of the cooler and set him over in his prepared pot of boiling water.

That particular crab seemed to have become fond of his cooler and was not anxious to leave. I got a great laugh watching Jeremy and this crab fight it out. Ultimately Jeremy won, but his blood pressure had risen just a tad in the fight. It seemed the tongs were just short enough to let the crab reach out and grab Jeremy's hand with his claws. That was a risk that Jeremy was not willing to allow - hence the reason for the anxiety and the fight. Anyway, it was fun.....until Addison became unbearably sleepy and bored. We just gave it up and came on back home. But here are a few pictures to show you a bit about the location and the day!

Upon arrival, Addison was ready to get started. Doesn't she look excited about being there?
Here's a tiny bait fish that was caught in the crab basket. It was Addison's first "feel" of a fish. Jeremy was holding it's mouth - she was convinced it would bite her. I was holding it's fins so it wouldn't "fin" her.

Here's a picture of the "monster." You can see his size as opposed to the rest of them.
