  • Big crabs!

    Got my personal best today! 18 1/2 inches claw to claw and 8 inches Point to point! I'd like to see any other pictures of big crabs out there caught by kayakers.

    Nice catch. err, is that crab dead? It appears you are tempting fate holding it like that.

      8" point to point, and one of his points is broke off; that's a big one.

        NICE!!! I had one last year that got my heart pounding but it was so big it didn't fit in the dip net and I lost it. I'd never seen a crab so big and I can't tell you how upset I was not to get it in the boat.

              Yes he was the only one that died on me. Of course it had to be the biggest one
