Did you set any record with biggest crab tip to tip? With that many crabs caught, I’d think you had to catch a few real big ones.
Don’t think they keep records like they do up north. We have the biggest crabs do to our warmer climate. I’ve caught some 10.5” crabs. Never kept any and my dad always said it have to have all original legs and claws and be fat fat. I’m grandfather had one mounted that was I think 11.5.

Lol I meant personal record. 10.5 and 11.5 would be absolute monster crabs up here.

Few of them I’ve never eaten or will. Choupic, possum, rougarou and blood boudin

Choupic ain't bad man, ain't the best, but better than gar, not something I wpuld target or really keep unless I was hungry. 🤣 Possum was just out of curiosity after skinning one. Didn't look like bad meat, smelled ok, tasted like rabbit to me.

Tell that shit to Dustin. I can catch fish and hunt. Don’t need to be eating the low end of the food chain. I guess bama sees different 😂

Got back from in town, decided to cook some fresh gulf shrimp on the grill along w inner loins from the buck. No hunting today even though it didn’t storm but rained here and there. I’m not bow hunting in the rain. Better days are coming so we will just chill. All 3 boys went to scout the last hour as I’m holding the camp down. I’m good w that. Can’t post pics so I will do a pic dump later.

Woke up yesterday w no rain but just misting. We all jumped in a tree w nothing seen. After a sammich I went to go scout hunt a different area. Walked 2 miles w nothing found to hunt and got picked up on another road to get me back to my truck, made me check my resolve if I really wanted to be a bow hunter. Once back at my truck I went scouted almost another two miles without a stand, pack and bow…much better this time. Did see a small buck. My boys hunted that evening on different sides of the road. I sat there in my truck and watched 7 deer cross into both blocks but the boys scratched of seeing a deer. It’s was in the upper 60’s and heavy overcast w misty air.
Got back to the camp, started a fire and cooked some cowboy steaks and a couple cans of corn over the grill. Soon as we finished the rain started and is still raining at the moment of typing this. Should get windy today w rain off and on and front passing through tonight. Hopefully the change in weather will put them on their feet.
