Little late to the party but, I learned that crabs are pretty smart they all made it out except for Big Bill who spent 10 min trying to figure out how to get in…. Fascinating watching all the fish and sun stars!! Thanks 2023!! 🦀🐟
Love all the awesome sunflower starfishes. It appears to me when the food was at the bottom they had to come into eat and was easier to eat then hanging upside. That one pot I watched, yes I watched another pot, it had it on the bottom which made more sense. First nothing could eat it unless they came in, when it’s on the top it looks like anything could snack on it from the top and never come in. Also when it was on the bottom the amount of crabs and fish chowing was amazing. They all wanted a piece and could climb over each other vs more limited space when you have to hang. Just an observation. I would just put the food cage to the bottom and not the top and do a experiment. Just seems more inviting to crabs, because everyone wants to be where the crowd is, and it everyone is hanging from the top no one will see them. Want those crabs to have fomo!
The larger and very curious fish in the video are Sculpin. The flounder-type fish are either baby Halibut or another fish we call Arrow Tooth, which look similar to Halibut but are not as tasty. Of course, the crab are Dungeness crab. The star fish are actually sun fish. It is amazing, and annoying, how sun fish can squeeze into the small opening of the crab pot.
"maybe a happy little crab lives right here. don't worry if it doesn't turn out as a crab, make it into an octopus. or just paint over it. do whatever feels right." -The late great Bob Ross (but more about trees and clouds than crabs)
As already commented, Deadliest Catch never showed this. And they have more camera gear than anyone. This is so fascinating. I never realized how smart they are. Makes me feel bad when people drop them into scolding hot water and boil them alive. I imagine they feel every ounce of that pain. I remember living in FL and we cooked crab. You could literally hear them scream when they hit the boiling hot water
lol that one crab at the first bit of the video....did he not go to school when he was younger? or did he have something against the corner of the cage?
19:12 That's one interesting looking starfish! I'm used to seeing the generic 5 arm (or is it leg?) starfish! Amazing how evolution makes these things!
Wow that first crab - I had NO idea they were so fast and SO strong. That crab really breaks out some muscles trying to get in through the corner. I guess crab meat IS muscle and lots of it - they look strong as can be.
looks funny when you play it at x2 speed. also quite sad. when the crab managed to crawl into the cage it looks like he was frantically trying to find a way put. when he was outside it looks like he was using the cage as a back scratchier.
Belatedly, Big Toni realized he was trapped with a few very unsavory multi tentacled monsters. All his friends were gone... he had never felt more alone. Making matters even worse, the tips of his left claw were suddenly itching.
I have done just about every job on the water but crabbing. So what's up with that one?? is it dumb or smart cleaning the barnacles off of itself?? Maybe that's the reason in some places they make the round lol
Super late to the party! I was shocked how long it took the crab to figure out how to get in. Caught pretty much everything but crab LOL. And one even escaped.
But it’s like all the movement the crabs make when they smell the bait attracts other crabs to see what all the fuss is about! I love crab, but lobster, shrimp and oysters are my favorites!
+Punchball they are starfishes ^_^ those are the biggest starfishes in the sea, and they eat crab, thats why they came to the trap too to eat the crabs stuck inside ^_^
the crab from like 6:00 and so forth keeps trying to target the food and then side jump thru the collision zone at the corner of the cage and go thru it
The Doors need plastic or perspect on the top part so thay don't get there arms in and the bottom bar stops them from getting in ... I recon this camera thing is great to see what happens . Phill , sunnycliffs Victoria Australia .

Thanks 2023!! 🦀🐟
Thanks for giving us a view of what happens down there. This is cool! I wish the Deadliest Catch tv series would do something like this.

Did anyone else notice at 17:33 you see a true homie of a crab giving his buddy a boost up to the bait with one claw. Now that is brotherhood.
Better than any reality TV show !!! Totally watched until the end.
Haha, the first crab trying to saw through the bars.
PhantomPowerSC is that the noise at about 3 minutes?
Lol he sure tried
he should have called his friend the sawfish....

Oohs I thought that was a starfish but it's a sunfish
The fish at 15:50 was Beautiful sight to see it's so pretty
31:11 it was back not the same fish but same type of fish
Shelly Berna im sorry but dont you mean sun star. the sun fish is the mola mola
It's actually a sun starfish but locally we call it a sunfish.
This is what I have been reduced to. Watching crab pots soak. Well - I grew tired of watching grass grow, so maybe it's progress of a kind ...
+whynottalklikeapirat you should try the paint drying channel
grimheathen
That sounds completely awesome and almost incomprehensibly action-packed
+whynottalklikeapirat Bob Ross is what you need.
MisterZhivago WheelieMaster YOu made me know what bob ross is. I shall never forgive you for this. It is now irrevocably part of my mental life.

Absolutely a fascinating watch.. Would have loved to see the cage brought up and opened. Thanx for sharing! :D
Good video..thanks !
Cheers from SOUTHEAST ALASKA .
Thank you, Brett!
14:35 Crab: "Why human, why hath you do this to me? Why human? I do not understand!" Fish: "He's a dumbass!"
Darien Striz lol
24:18 crab on left: ‘’The name’s Crab, Mr. Crab.’’
[shakes hand with what ever that thing is]
Lmao
Nice
It's a sunflower star.

Great job, nicely done, thanks for posting!
14:45
Crab: A Camera? Hi there. Get me the hell of of HERE!!
Andy Hua lol
Hjeckydell8 lol
thank you for uploading this, i know that life in the ocean floor is quite busy but never seen a scene like this...
The beautiful scenery behind you, deep breath in, love it
5:42
Fish: ooooh! What's that? *bumps* oh... nvm.
thanks for the video I enjoyed it very much
good stuff. a little bit of UFC cage fighting too.CRAZY CRAB VS STARFISH.
*CRABS LIKE "HEY CAN YOU GUYS LET ME OUT NOW?"* @ 14:44
What a cool video, thank you for that.
This was oddly satisfying to watch.
Best thing I ever seen...thanks.
very nice video, great sharing!
the first crab had me laughing my arse off 😂👌
Still more exciting than an episode of Deadliest Catch.
Nice. You just got yourself a new subscriber here.
lol that one crab at the first bit of the video....did he not go to school when he was younger? or did he have something against the corner of the cage?
15:38 the fish tried to eat the camera LOL
6:10 - what type of fish are those . . . .Gurnards ?
Not sure what type of fish that is, never caught one to see.
please make a few more videos. they are actually therapeutic to watch. LOL
5:40 this fish made me laugh 😂😂😂
The crab in the beginning is me on Monday mornings.
19:12 That's one interesting looking starfish! I'm used to seeing the generic 5 arm (or is it leg?) starfish! Amazing how evolution makes these things!
It might be a sunflower sea star (star fish). It is one of the largest species of star fish to exist. They have more limbs than a regular starfish.
Great up close of the fish while the crab headbutts the corner XD
What I learned about this video is that crabs are very stupid
SonofRiggnarok Not that one crab at 28:15
Sebs17 holy crap. He said " fuck this"
Mouses are more dumb
SonofRiggnarok well, crabs pretty much don't have a physical Brain, soo
But oh so tasty
28:49 - Yay! - Its like 'escape from Colditz'! (I ALMOST CHEERED!) . . . . I'm so Sad !
23:55 WHAT ARE THOSE BEHIND THE CRAB WITH THE TENTICLES? OCTOPUS?
First crab is using the corner to scratch his back! Lol 😂😂😂😂
This is how i spend my time that i could be doing something productive
Lol for the first crab I was thinking. " Doors to your right, dumbass :)
The doors need vertical bars to slide on the carb when they enter and why are they the same size as those rings, catching what needs to be released?
What did you use for a camera setup? Did you have a light rigged in the camera?
No light rigged. The camera was simply tied to the crab trap.
What is the legal sz. for Dungeness crab in Alaska? Here in Washington State it's 6-1/4" in Puget Sound and 6" on the coast.
The legal size for Dungeness crab in Alaska is 6.5 inches notch to notch. Only male Dungeness crab can be kept for consumption.
what was that crab doing? having a nice scratch! 😂😂
Wow that first crab - I had NO idea they were so fast and SO strong. That crab really breaks out some muscles trying to get in through the corner. I guess crab meat IS muscle and lots of it - they look strong as can be.
The starfish was like: fk! I came here for crab food, not to be the food of crab!!
Idk what it is but I love watching videos like this it's kinda like zit popping videos just cant stop
What’s the deal with the sun fish. They get in and just lay there? Crazy. Love the video!
i like how them big ass star fishes where like dont mind me ima just be the carpet
The sounds of the crabs walking around put me to sleep quick!
I don't know why this is so satisfying...
First Crab: Swingy swooty gonna get dat booty! Fish: Bruh use the door.... -_-
Very cool video ! Liked and subbed
looks funny when you play it at x2 speed. also quite sad. when the crab managed to crawl into the cage it looks like he was frantically trying to find a way put. when he was outside it looks like he was using the cage as a back scratchier.
Thumbs up for crab impression 10/10 pinchers and nice murica shirt mister
Is that a surface speaker or on the bottom with all the creaking? Nice video reminds me of Charlie White's work in the early eighties. Doug
The GoPro is picking up the sound of the crab rubbing against the pot. There was one crab messing with the camera from behind :)
Shelly Berna what go pro is that the 2 because I might get it. I love those water sounds it makes and the crackling.
Belatedly, Big Toni realized he was trapped with a few very unsavory multi tentacled monsters. All his friends were gone... he had never felt more alone. Making matters even worse, the tips of his left claw were suddenly itching.
Fish at @6:00 is like "what cha looking at"
I think the crab had a mental breakdown😂 what was that? Tryin to rub his shell to get in😂😂
It's fun to sit and watch videos like this and see crabs fight each other for food :)
I take it that the Sun fish are not edible?
I'm not sure if the sunfish are edible or not, but I don't think I would like to try them!
I'm not sure I would either :)
Charles Nicholls sunstar, not sunfish. the sunfish is the mola mola.
You are right but it is a sun starfish. Locally it is called a sunfish.
R
Very satisfying results...
That one crab on the left squeezed through the circle at 28:30 and finally gets out at 28:57
28:15 - 28:51 The crab succeed on escaping through the hole what a smart one
awww i wanted to see pull it up and see all the starfish 😭
Oneday i'm going to vlog catching crab and fish..i like this adventure bro.
#StupidCrab
18:38 Creepy Assed Starfish
'Flat-Fish' - always first on the scene !
Seems like an inefficient design if the crabs have a difficult time getting in.
Quality over quantity, only the strongest get in. Perhaps you can pause and think before you comment next time.
@@johnbartlet8444 Calm down were all watching crab pots soak we didnt come here for conflict
@@justsomeasshole7388 OK, I guess you can get on with your life now.
@@justsomeasshole7388 totally not the wholesome comment I expected from your name
19:06 is this a seastar on the ground?
I think so
It's a couple of sun starfish.
18:44 who released the kraken?
thats not the kraken its the sun star XD the kraken is WAY more bigger than those guys XD
I have done just about every job on the water but crabbing. So what's up with that one?? is it dumb or smart cleaning the barnacles off of itself?? Maybe that's the reason in some places they make the round lol
very good video
Are those stingrays? They are so cute!
LOL @ 33:10 "And then there was one!"
That first crab is a huge dork lol!
Mr. Lingcod Returned To The Crab Trap When A Sea Stars Take Dinner Away They Eat... EVERYTHING!!!
the fish is showing them the way to do it, so clever :o)
Super late to the party! I was shocked how long it took the crab to figure out how to get in. Caught pretty much everything but crab LOL. And one even escaped.
But it’s like all the movement the crabs make when they smell the bait attracts other crabs to see what all the fuss is about! I love crab, but lobster, shrimp and oysters are my favorites!
looks like a co-op... lol thanks for posting
Cool video - thank you. What did you end up pulling up ? Were those octopus in there ?
There were no legal crab in this particular pot. When the sun starfish start moving in they tend to keep the crabs away.
Shelly Berna
Can you eat them sun starfish ?
+chefgiovanni starfish contain a toxin in their flesh. They are eaten in China I believe but I would never eat one. Not exactly appetizing.
Decker
LOL, never seen anyone eat them down here in the lower 48.
+chefgiovanni Not sure if you can but I certainly wouldn't!
What's that flat thing with all the tentagals
What are those things in the trap at the end of the video that look like star fish?
+Punchball they are starfishes ^_^ those are the biggest starfishes in the sea, and they eat crab, thats why they came to the trap too to eat the crabs stuck inside ^_^
+Punchball
They are sunfish
seems way too hard for the crab to enter the trap. Could the trap doors be larger?
Thank you for wonder VDO
That's so cool
Tommorow my physics exam and I'm watching this 😂😂😂
It's like a slow motion hell in the cell match.
whats that huge star fish looking thing? 19:39
+coco blue Pretty sure it is just that. A star fish. Starfish come in many different shapes and sizes.
We call them sun starfish.
glad to see cthulu's cousin cmae to check the pot soak at 18:23
Looks like Mushmouth's hat from Fat Albert and The Cosby Kids cartoon show found its way into the pot.
the crab from like 6:00 and so forth keeps trying to target the food and then side jump thru the collision zone at the corner of the cage and go thru it
how many legs did the starfish have
This is super cool because I live in SE Alaska, sitka, and I've always wanted kind of to see just what goes on down there
That starfish was hella cool
How did that Starfish get in there?
The Doors need plastic or perspect on the top part so thay don't get there arms in and the bottom bar stops them from getting in ... I recon this camera thing is great to see what happens . Phill , sunnycliffs Victoria Australia .

*CTHULU HAS BEEN SUMMONED*
best part 12:58 he takes a running leap for it and juuuust misses.
