Comeback Crab

[ThePractice]

Caught this some time back but I released it because it felt empty

One month later I caught it again(Can't pose with because I was alone) I recognise it from the dent on its head.






The meat wasn't that great, should have released it again

[ilurbtambans]

Nice job recapturing it! well at least the size made up for the lack of meat :P did you try pressing the shell to see if its soft?

[ThePractice]

Thanks! Yes the size made up for the meat :P I didn't get to press the second time, it escaped into a small hole which led to the sea but I put my hand in to pull it out, then it pinched my hand :/ I just transferred it into the cooler box after that. The PRC beside me foul hooked a female and I kinda got jealous, they had a cast net and I didn't want them to have if I released it

wah thats a big muddie u have there. next time dont use ur hand grab the crab out from the hole very dangerous u risk losing ur fingers!! hope to see more cr from u

[ThePractice]

Thanks! I will keep that in mind. I hope I get to post more CRs too but crabs don't come very often for me

[Peace]

That's a big one, it must be fate that the crab is to die at your hands. Yeah, don't noodle the crab out of the hole with your bare hands, especially one this size. Get a thick metal clothes hanger and reshape it into a long hook, it's pretty useful for such a purpose.

Off topic: And I added one more crab avatar for you crab fanatics.

[ThePractice]

It bit my hand and it isn't as bad as people made it sound but yeah I will consider bringing a reshaped hook next time. Yay! A Crucifix Crab! Right?

Also off topic: I realize we don't have a mud lobster in the archives, I have a picture of a one from ubin. Hope it's useful

[Peace]

Oh wow, I would love to use your picture of the mud lobster. You've got a clean shot of it too. Thanks for the picture, I'll put it up soon. I've tried digging its mound before but it went quite deep down so I gave up. Did you spot this lobster out in the open?

[ThePractice]

Yay! Thank you! Yes, it was out in the open, I saw it in the middle of the road after I came out of the bushes. After I picked it up a taxi drove by The last photo is when I returned it into the water but it came back out a while later, and walked all the way back to where I was, then into a pile of leaves. It was also the first time I actually seen a mud lobster

[alibabaCrabber]

what were u doing inside the bushes pang sai LOL

[ThePractice]

Went in to set my traps... HAHAHA!

[Peace]

That's lucky of you, I always wanted to see one myself but all I see are their mounds. I wonder why it was in the middle of the road, perhaps in search of a better area where there are more hot lobster babes.

[ThePractice]

HAHAHA! Maybe~ but how do we know that this one's not a female?

[Peace]

Because he has much hairy legs.
