Awesome episode Brent! I've always wondered about this crab fishery. Thanks for sharing!

[@my-back-yard]

We’re going to have to do it together!

[@shannonyork5300]

Obviously Captain Bob is a Pro, but I was surprised to hear that he drops his pots knowing the floats will be submerged for some period of time. Doesn't that pose a safety hazard to other boats who could run over them and get their props tangled in his line and floats when they are still submerged, perhaps close to the surface, but still not visible? Maybe that's SOP, but it seems unsafe.

[@my-back-yard]

It’s odd, but there’s no other way

[@shannonyork5300]

@@my-back-yard Yes, it is odd. I don't see how it can not be a risk to navigation. What if there were 100 boats (or even 50) out all doing the same thing, with 6 pots per boat, and all 600 (or 300) floats submerged and invisible, yet close enough to the surface to foul a motor? Like I said, perhaps it is SOP but . . ..

It's pretty clear that Capt. Bob has got finding crab absolutely dialed in.
TYFS Brent, awesome video and catch.
Hope you had a great Thanksgiving.

[@my-back-yard]

You too Mark!

Hello from a new subscriber after watching this amazing video; well done. I look forward to all your videos like this in the near future. Thanks for sharing.

[@my-back-yard]

Thank you Jamie!

[@subaru8548]

Man...I'm addicted to watching your vids! I have ALWAYS struggled for crab in the Columbia. I wonder if it's time of year. I usually crab during salmon season late summer.

[@my-back-yard]

Thanks for the compliment! We do best with heavy pots in the main channel.

[@subaru8548]

@@my-back-yard Yeah. I need to weight more. I've always snuck them out of the main channel under the lighthouse. Do ok but not great.

[@UnkownGamer69]

Can you catch crabs on the docks of the marina in Hammond?

[@my-back-yard]

I haven’t tried but I suppose.

[@scenesaheadvideo2214]

Great video! Thanks for sharing the details. A couple of questions: How deep were your pots and how did you decide where to place them?

[@my-back-yard]

Thanks! 30-40 feet and experience. Just know that if you put them in the main channel, in the current, you should not keep them in more than six or 12 hours. If you get out of the main channel in slower moving water, you can leave them in longer. And as far as where to put them, experience.

Been there done that!

Really? Tell me more!

[@nhmountains5683]

First. Those crabs look delicious.

[@my-back-yard]

They were 😉

[@mrbeaverstate]

Bet the dog would eat crab if offered.

[@kanaletumlinson]

Very hard to hear you guys talking with the techno music blaring in the background.. cool video from what I could hear tho.

[@my-back-yard]

Haha! I always use a little music on the front side. Only for a couple minutes though!

[@maury8441]

just my opinion but get rid of the background beebop in the beginning

[@my-back-yard]

Always trying new ideas

[@ATRTAP]

Has global warming affected the catch of Dungeness crab in the Columbia river, in your opinion?

[@my-back-yard]

No. But in the hood canal, we are on a bout a seven-year crab drought. I don’t know what to attribute it to yet.

[@ATRTAP]

@@my-back-yard thanks

The rich get richer.

“Epstein island” 😂

Trying to keep it interesting. Lol
