Let's talk crab [NJ]

I’ve hooked a couple of seagulls wade fishing the Galveston surf. Avoid this at all costs.

Pretty sure it looks just like a koi that has been swimming in salt water wondering how the f*k big this pond is.

What type crab do you like best?
I like, in descending order:
King Crab (the big legs)
Stone Crab
Blue Crab
Dungeness
Peekyote Crab
Snow Crab

Our local ospreys have stopped fish next to our building…certainly possible!

My list would start with King and end with Hermit. (yes I’ve eaten a hermit crab)

Have you ever eaten a mother inlaw? They are some nasty looking creatures!

Easy there CJ !!! Somethings are not for public consumption!!

Dislike!

Crabby Daddy bao. Soft shells are in season.

Yeah I have hooked seagulls and pelicans too. Luckily the osprey never got hooked by my lure. That would not have been fun reeling that thing in and releasing him. He was a good 30-35 yards out.

They were accidents as it’s no fun extracting the hooks from the feathers. I risked getting my hand pecked off but I freed them and they flew off to resume their own fishing.

Whether fish or fowl, if I’m removing a hook from something alive and moving around I’m wearing a good pair of gloves.

Not an option. I’m at least 800 yards out in the water but the pliers I take with me did the trick. Happy birds, happy fisherman.
