I once came upon a young boy with a mud crab latched to his hand. I had to snap off the claw and even then loosening its hold took a bit of strength. He was good until I got it off him. Then I had to try to calm him. Pretty fcked up situation. I wouldn't have that boy filming so close to such a flimsy way of catching these guys.
mikey e Not sure if you should be calling me an idiot when you don't know what you are talking about. Happy to answer any questions if you would like to know the rules or location I am catching Muddies.... This is filmed in WA where you can't use crab traps as you do in QLD, only hoop nets or a hook. I am a stickler for the rules and over the year traveling and fishing sent research back to aid the fisheries in numbers and locations of all my catches.
Thanks for your comment Ryan. Be careful catching them by hand. Don't let it get hold of you or you could lose a finger. And even when dead, don't put your fingers near the claws as they can still do just as much damage. Good luck :-)
Thanks for your comment Ruvnesh. It states it in the video that we did put the jenny back unharmed. And no, legally you don't need to put all jennys back, it depends on what state you are in. But for the record, we do put them back.
Coz in many places they ARE illegal. This guy is either in Western Australia or Northern Territory... all other Australian states it's illegal to use hooks coz they can stab & kill under sized crabs. It's also illegal in many states to take female crabs.
Thanks for your comment Aaron. The female was returned unharmed. It depends on what state you are in as to whether it is legal or not to keep the jennys, but as a rule, we always return them.
I love the other two young boys. They would never eat female because they always think about further. Females carry eggs. If u eat females how can u have crabs to eat in future. They are younger and smarter
Thanks for your comment Miami. The female was returned unharmed. Like the other two young boys you are referring to, we also always return the females for future crabs. It is a good rule to live by, glad to know there are others out there that feel the same :-)
Here we use rafia string to "strangle" the crab, way easier than this hook. Not to mention he should just kill the crab in the process since he snapped its pincers off.
Guys don't feel like it was destroying the crab when the claws were ripped off. They grow back and loosing their claws is natural from fighting with other crabs. And also this guy was probably eaten soon after anyways.
To everyone whinging about ripping the claws off . This is what I always do to every female I catch as it is illegal to keep the females. The claws have the tastiest meat and as long as you rip them off it can't be proven where they come from. The crab gets to live and I get some meat. Everybody wins.
+Tom tonka Mate it is illegal in QLD to possess crab claws without a Male crab they are from, not sure about other states but in QLD ripping claws off a female is completely illegal. also a bitch move
MrEricdouglas1 Really? Why am I the reason? Did you even read my post? I don't take them just their claws you piece of shit. Cry me a fucking river nancy.
Yeah and you are breaking the law idiot. Not only are you damaging the crab, the stress caused by losing claws can stop them spawning. On top of that removing both claws induces a molt which they have less than 50% chance of surviving. Go read a book you uneducated bogan.
Let's see ur ass do a video then there big ass crabs for u do it by hand they will try to pitch u if u did get pitched it would hert I caught one I got pitched and it hurts so let's see ur ass catch a mudcrab
Isn't there good reason why taking females is illegal. Seems even just ripping her claws off would interfere with her spawning. This is brutal. MAJOR THUMBS DOWN..
everything about your crabbing is suspect it is illegal to take females and the claws off females I hope to god you get caught one day and this video is used against you in court
This should be titled how NOT to catch a mud crab with a hook, lol.
Looks like a lot of work. We have it easy here in Oregon I guess. You got a new subscriber here.
wow you guys are so cool! im gonna get myself a hook now and go mud crab hunting!
OMG! You maimed the poor innocent crab nippers mate!
I think Skyrim wants their crabs back.
Love it that everyone is in it together.
Cool technique 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
From here in Dubai 🤝🤝🤝what a good size 👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻

Philip Goh yes. Its already in the plain sightbut still he use hook,

New subscriber here 👍
how can you show the correct way of use when you are not really using the hook and when you do it doesn't seem effective
Good video
umm the hook seems useless or not as effective. i love the video by the way.
That poor crab it was already soup before it got in the pot
I xD when you ripped that crab's arm off
struggling to see how the hook helped
tour my house

Above Broome in Western Australia.

Man, those unattach open claws can close and grip if it sense something in it, so next time dont hold it that way
why didn't you cook the claws?
~rad~
How much do they weigh?
Anywhere up to 2.5 kilos roughly
Caption " How to catch a crab without claws " :)

Those are huge crabs. How do they taste???
I have had king crab and sand crab and mud crab and it is honestly my favourite food, it is salty and sweet
better put a handle in the other end for easy handling sir..it also like that which i used here in the philippines catching a mudcrab
I'm pretty sure that's illegal
+Joshua Reilly I'm pretty sure you're an idiot.
Catching crab my job
How can u tear the little guy's arm apart man
+GrassHorse Most crabs can easily shed their claws to get away from a predator. They will grow back.

This way of catching crabs is very famous around Asia..

I like your metode how to catching the crap by stick only. by the way mangrove forest near in my home. I will try letter on
Says he is going to show us how to do it, then fails at it.
tour my house
That hook was about as much use as a cricket bat made of jelly.
the hook seems useless since you are still dipping your hands to hold the crab
you do know it is totally illegal now? it was banned years ago , smart idea to put it in you tube with your name
In Australia its not
you idiot , it's totally illegal in QLD , have a look at the laws , or better ring fisheries , I already have sent them this video ,

Thanks for your comment Ryan. Be careful catching them by hand. Don't let it get hold of you or you could lose a finger. And even when dead, don't put your fingers near the claws as they can still do just as much damage. Good luck :-)
thx bro, now i found using bbq clip to hold them r so easy, especially the long clip, haha
U have to throw all gennis back mate!
Thanks for your comment Ruvnesh. It states it in the video that we did put the jenny back unharmed. And no, legally you don't need to put all jennys back, it depends on what state you are in. But for the record, we do put them back.
Why are people saying that hooks are illegal ?? Any know ??
Coz in many places they ARE illegal. This guy is either in Western Australia or Northern Territory... all other Australian states it's illegal to use hooks coz they can stab & kill under sized crabs. It's also illegal in many states to take female crabs.
Here in cagayan we use that method.grab by your hands and crab will crash it.dont just comment stupid things if you dont have any knowledge on it.
TarraDarra is better
Yeah I wouldn't be posting this as not done correctly
Good luck
Does this guy know that Female crabs are illegal now? why would you even post it if you may or may not have known that it was a female.
Thanks for your comment Aaron. The female was returned unharmed. It depends on what state you are in as to whether it is legal or not to keep the jennys, but as a rule, we always return them.
Australian English lol Btw i love cathcing crabs
In my place is name is kentut

Bloody butcher - No idea ! "pointed base" Bwa hah haha ha
I love the other two young boys. They would never eat female because they always think about further. Females carry eggs. If u eat females how can u have crabs to eat in future. They are younger and smarter
I like you
In other words they don't eat female crabs because they don't want a fine up to $100 000 .
Thanks for your comment Miami. The female was returned unharmed. Like the other two young boys you are referring to, we also always return the females for future crabs. It is a good rule to live by, glad to know there are others out there that feel the same :-)
You were pulling against the root not the crab, that’s why it lost its claws. Fail
😂
the eggs are tasty
he why jus dont grab it at the back,
hahahahaha
Here we use rafia string to "strangle" the crab, way easier than this hook. Not to mention he should just kill the crab in the process since he snapped its pincers off.
They grow back pretty quickly if something doesn't eat them first.
brake arms off and let them go
Take them with the hands and a stick
Illegal to use a hook in Queensland
ill will doing likes thats in me provinces b when illl vecations with its
This method of crabbing in Queensland Australia is illegal and has been for more than fifty years.
Didn't think white fella allowed to hook ?
Wow !!! cut off his chela ,it's safely skill.
You should always let the females go Incase they have eggs!
Even if they don't, you should let the females go :-)
stop using that just use your hand...grab the rear foot... stop talking and grab some more..
Why even use the bloody hook just grab the thing!!!
why use a hook, using ur bare hands will do. grab him at the back .. .
lol, donno wth hes doing
Uma bosta isso pega na mao msm
Hahah shame
Guys don't feel like it was destroying the crab when the claws were ripped off. They grow back and loosing their claws is natural from fighting with other crabs. And also this guy was probably eaten soon after anyways.
Thank you Joshua, yes you are correct. And yes, he was eaten shortly after. :-)
Don't play with gators next time...
not good,,its hand not hook!!
I think this video was a fail 🤤
To everyone whinging about ripping the claws off . This is what I always do to every female I catch as it is illegal to keep the females.

MrEricdouglas1
meh they grow back and I'm sure the crab prefers me taking just its claws instead of the whole thing.
You are the reason restrictions are getting tighter. you make the rest of the fishing community look bad. you piece of shit.
MrEricdouglas1
Really? Why am I the reason? Did you even read my post? I don't take them just their claws you piece of shit. Cry me a fucking river nancy.

come on this is just not working
malito tu gancho.
im not believe in you
your not kwow on how to handle hunter mud crab
Lol using a hook. Pick them up with your hands properly never yank them by the claws
And when have you ever been out catching muddies? I'm betting, never
Let me get this straight...your showing a video of a crab catching tool that is totally useless...why?
Not good ,
you need more practice.
Let's see ur ass do a video then there big ass crabs for u do it by hand they will try to pitch u if u did get pitched it would hert I caught one I got pitched and it hurts so let's see ur ass catch a mudcrab
Total FAILURE!!!
Isn't there good reason why taking females is illegal. Seems even just ripping her claws off would interfere with her spawning. This is brutal. MAJOR THUMBS DOWN..
This guy is really bad at this...
everything about your crabbing is suspect it is illegal to take females and the claws off females I hope to god you get caught one day and this video is used against you in court
