That's a neat looking crab. I'm not quite sure what species it is though but it looks it's from the spider crab family. How did you catch it?

Ah I see, did you try those bento or cage traps on your past trip to BJT?

I didn't but I saw a lot of people pull up empty nets, and I was there for 2 days back to back so.. probably not going to try it any time soon :/

BJT probably isn't the best spot for crabbing anyway, I figured a place like that must have decent amount of flower crabs. I guess not. :(
