First time catching King crab...

Since we are in Alaska you can catch crabs by dropping a cage and pulling it out a few hours later you can catch indigenous crabs.

So we finally find a spot to go crabbing and drop our cage down. . .

And wait for a few hours. . .

Just before we wanted to pull up the cage we got sunshine.

We left with our skiff and pull it up, you won't believe what we saw. We pulled out 8 crabs and 2 king crabs - usually you don't catch Kings especially in 20 meters of water - this was the first time we have caught King crab!

Sadly one of the Kings crab was a female and that's why you can not take them with you.

Take a look at this.. .

Just barely fit into our cooler.

We cooked the crabs and picked all the meat out - the best meat l have ever tasted in my life. . .
