Crabbing has been a huge part of my life. I don't know what I'd be doing without it. I realized that I haven't done a dedicated video to catching Blue Crabs in a while. This video is going to take you behind the scenes and show you everything that goes into being a commercial crabber!

Barrel of Monkeys was a simple game I played as a kid. Now, imagine Luke's Crabs in a Trap.
Dude Europe... This may help ur advertising
Dude commercial crab boil. Just forgetting the crawfish
Is that jog lever with a custom lever on the second station? Did you make the lever or was it already like that when you bought it?
So happy to see all the hard work and dedication you’ve put in is finally giving your dreams to reality , you deserve it. If you don’t work hard then you ain’t no crabber 😉 Love ya from Tennessee ❤
I dont know what it is about Lukes videos but I seem to watch the whole thing every time. Easy to listen to because he is authentic , you cant make that up.
I watch them to sleep i be mid sleep getting hungry
Question Luke??
Does filling the pot with new bait and then putting the pot in the hot water to clean the pot, wash out the new baits oils and smell? Maybe and 10 pot test , with pots baited before and after the pot cleaning. lol don’t waste your time it was just a question. Love your content, keep winning the day!!
everyone wondering about why the reupload. it was because the last 10+ minutes of the video were cut off of the original upload.
Thank you! I was literally halfway though the first upload when it went private
@@woofy1988 no problem
I was wondering what was going on
You have to much time on your hands son
I wish people knew how much it takes to catch crab and people complain how much they cost. Love your vids Luke!
It’s the restaurants that truly rip you off. The crabbers do all the hard work and the crab houses double the whole sale price.
"You Can only kill a crab once"... thatt line right there hit so deep wow and made sooo much since
My family and I ordered your steamed and seasoned crabs a couple of weeks ago and they were a huge hit! We've never had fresh crab right off the boat before and the difference in taste from the frozen we get in Colorado is noticeably so much better.
We all send our thanks and blessings and hope your new boat gets fixed soon. Thank you for all of your hard work and we love watching your channel 🙏
Such a nice comment 👍🏼🇺🇸
Luke, this was an awesome infovlog! You're definitely a smart cookie & always impress me...cuz I ain't no crabber! 🤣😉Best wishes from the Kentucky River (where I ain't no crawdaddy or catfisher either!)
LUKE! I was about 24 minutes in and you took it down for whatever reason... But it's back now, what did you change?
35 minutes to end of video
Original video cut around the 36 minute mark.
in the original upload the last 10 or so minutes were cut off so he reuploaded it with the rest of the video.
I watched them both. You didn't miss anything.
I watched the first one you released this morning, then came back to watch this one when I saw it was longer.
As someone who commercial lobster fished in the North east for ten years. Started at 8 years old but south of Maine. you are the idle guy who keeps something going even at its wild weird low profit times. Love your videos and the Knowles channel lobstering in Maine . I know exactly where you really in your profession. I really wish more young guys would get
Into the commercial industry amazing to see it still alive in some Places.
This video brings me back to my younger days of being a stern man. It’s amazing to see your stand and where you are due to the social
Media boosting your bussiness.
Can't wait to see the videos on the desperado.The full restoration
Keep it up man. Great videos, it’s cool to see how crabbing really works.
You put fresh bait in the pots and then cook the traps? We do it opposite up here in Maine. We cook the trap and then put the bait in so it doesn't cook the bait. But maybe the semi cooked shrimp heads fish as good.
I was wondering the same thing. Wouldn't it make more sense for the guy getting them out of the hot tub to bait the traps and then stack them? Wouldn't they lose some scent strength in the hot tub?
My thoughts exactly. When you put the bait in the hot water, your cooking the oils weight out of the shrimp or fish. Keep up the good work
Does dipping the bait inside impact the catch yield?
I would imagine raw fish catches more
Fish like sautéed with lots of garlic.
i hope you guys caught on to tht yall noticed how he was complimenting AJ and him being there the longest and being the best shaker and all that bt AJ wanted to make sure his boys got praise as well and praised them as much as he was praising AJ. Yep Aj was raised up right u can tell thats a man who is never going to think he is better then anyone ever ... this world needs more man like AJ for sure more young man like AJ
This was a great episode. Been watching a lot great to hear the business side. Luke should go be a NERD guest speaker for an Economics 101 class showing real life experenice and market shifts, that was a great break down. Thanks Luke and crew keep catching!
Luke ur a bad ass brother keep up the hard work
I live in western Kansas and we are ordering crabs tonight can't wait to eat them for the best crabber on earth.
Luke,
As a retired stone Mason I have realized what it means to have good help no mater the field of work.
I have to express my admiration for you and your helps work ethic at such a young age.
It gives me hope for the future generations of the people that are in fact the backbone of American industry.
My best to you and yours.
Well said and I second that comment 👍🏼🇺🇸
😂 tell my bucket list to eat a crab. Albuquerque New Mexico now
Happy /sad ❤.
Hopefully you guys keep the channel .
We watch another sailing channel that stopped sailing and started homesteading ,they've been doing it for a couple years now . Raising their baby and some animals/ gardens and building a small wood sailboat . It's a fantastic channel and way of life
Eyy the rest of the video lol
Well I just bought my first order of your mom’s crab cakes! I can’t wait to try them and looking forward to buying more. Thank you for all that you do to keep the crabbing community going!
Hey Luke, thanks for rocking the 'Black Rifle Coffee ' hat. I'll definitely have to send you more BRCC merch. Then you can outfit your entire crew in tees, hoodies, and lids. Thanks and Best of Luck! God Bless!!
The microphone gain may be too high. When you are talking loudly it sounds bad. When you use normal speech it's OK.
Very interesting learning about all the different stuff that comes in to play like how the crabs are soarted with the softness of the shell n color/etc ....... Also did you just say you sell the smaller light crabs for a dollar each no way thats correct really? Shoot id buy 50 of em easy n have a lil feast for myself
Glad to see your hot water dunk tank is up and working now. You have a good working crew.
Thanks for another video!
Luke, I am kinda wondering why you have AJ refill the bait holder with shrimp heads *B4* you place the trap into the hot-water rinse tank. Doesn't this kind of rinse the flavor (meat, scents and any leftover shrimp meat) OUT of the bait basket before you reset (drop) the crabpot?? Although it might rearrange the very efficient process you have, personally I would think that it would be better to put the bait (shrimp heads) into the crabpot AFTER you have rinsed the pot in the hot water. Just sayin'.......😮😮🤔🤔🤔🙄🙄🙄🙄🙄😬😬😬😬😬😛😛😛😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪😜🤪🤪🤔🤔🤔🤔😬🤔🙄🙄🙄👍👍👍👍👍👍❤❤❤❤❤
I had good crabbing around Solomons Island salty hard 6 -8 in with blue fish carcass s
I figured a new upload was coming. The end was worth watching
Great video Luke!
Thanks for sharing!!!
Aw, they're giving all the crabs a little hug...!
Some say, the Oxford Dictionary listing for the word "Gumption" is simply a link to this young man's youtube channel
I'm confused. I watched, liked and commented on this like 7 hours ago
Edit: On my watch history it says I commented on a private video (this one, earlier). Luke, what's going on man?
The other video cut off at 36 ish minutes
You obviously didn’t watch the previous video to the end. It cut off early
Ended in the middle of talking also 36 or 38 minutes
Accidentally diddnt upload the whole video the first time sorry. Technical difficulties!
@fvsoutherngirl zero apologies necessary.
I envy you Bro! Keep going! I did it in the Auto industry, you can keep pushin on!
You may just be used to talking loudly for the other setup.
Having each crew member walk you through their job was awesome
🦀🦀🦀 watching again for the algorithm 🦀🦀🦀
Was wondering why the vid ended at you talking looks like we get more vid
Luke you do an awesome job what your crew everybody has fun working together I'm sorry that you'll be short-handed this week they have to get their educations
Luke! I’m a crabber! Great job on this video! You’re the best! Thanks for the info! Lots of love from Long Island!
u ain’t no real crabber…
Hellzz yeah make that money brother
Luke you run a smooth operation there buddy y'all make it look easy. Yeah your first mate seems like a good young dude likes to work takes pride in every job he does, and that's how it's suppose to be. nice video guys. Good luck Luke.
Soft Crabs Yuck
700th like wins a crab boil. 🙋🏼♂️ 700th like right here lol 🙋🏼♂️
Woo hoo!
Enjoy your videos keep them comming
‼️
Those mics were a game changer!
Luke..Frank Sloup..From Fridays with Frank mentioned you on his latest clip..🤗🤗🤗
Do not be so honest you crash into an iceberg. Pivot. Rotate. Turn. Indirect route. Turn around. Lifes jackets. Lifes boats. Communicates. Uturn.
Expand crabbing business selling crabs overseas. Lifes jackets. Let authorities people know before during after. Iceberg problem collision deaths problem.
Given what blue crabs mean to Maryland, this video should be required viewing for every 6th/7th grader in the state of Maryland. They need to understand. I was lucky to grow up on the Eastern Shore and learn much of this as a kid but most kids don’t get that chance. Just so well done.
I never understood why any company would want to keep a sponge crab that’s carrying a whole bunch of babies. It's illegal to keep themin GA as well
you called it rock fish i fished JAMAICA BAY QUEENS New York And the ONLY NAME I KNEW THEY WERE CALLED WAS STRIPPED BASS, LEARN SOMETHING EVERY DAY
Doesn't the bait cook in the hot water?
Just finished my two dozen large through Jimmy's. Fantastic! Best crabs I've ever had. Jimmy's shipping is beyond expectations!
Bro, I LOVE FALL CRABS! I always want crabs for my birthday in early October. If you're still open in October I'll buy yours! Of course my family give me crabs but I can't get enough of thise fall crabs.
Hey Luke, new mic kinda sucks bro.
Question, why do you put the new bait in before you dip the pot in hot water. Wouldn’t it be better to put them in after? Not a crabber wouldn’t know. Might be a good video for your “can it catch” series.
Keep up the awesome work. Might be by the crab stand if we take the 1,000 mile journey this year.
Long time viewer here, wondering why you put the bait in then the bath? Wouldn’t that basically take all the juice and stuff away and also cook it? I’m from Massachusetts, baits usually stinky!?😂
If you invest in a larger wider further boat you can expand inside the boat you can still stack and you can "west-side story" set the pot or pots to the "west-side story"? ? Trade in boat for a larger taller boat? ? The hit head on roof wood problem. Or buy a larger taller boat or boats. Boeing Employee Credit Unit (BECU.) Business loan.
Just crab Luke, and pay a full time social network producer/editor....crabs are the base of your lifestyle/business...just my 2 cents
Trout line is the most fun crabbing.
Wow…..great video! I learned a ton about crabs, about crabbing and about the business. You might not like the video work as much as the crabbing, but you have a knack for it.
So whilst crabbing is it nicotine caffeine or other?
lots of time, lots of repetitive movements-what keeps the crew rolling? This is not rocket science- men move on (supplements) . Adrenaline can only do so much!- most crew often? I routinely have to ensure my employees must?
Most people that work with can’t ?
We use croakers in the bay off Padre Island, TX as bait fish to catch trout, they are a predators to trout eggs, so when big trout hear the croak they attach that thing, such a fun fishing method. Its personal to those trout
I'm so Happy you got a real camera and a real MIC... You aint no UA-camr if your on your Iphone!!! congrats bro. I'm so inspired I'm going to start my own channel. too bad I sell insurance and it is going to bore people to death!!
I just started watching you to me it looks like the pod is enclosed how do the crabs get in it? Also do you ship crabs so I can buy some? This is a very interesting video. Thanks for explaining everything. I guess I would like to know what happens when the pod is in the water. You said to look in description but I don't see anything. I'm 66 and don't know how to understand all this.
Don't you want all the shrimp head juices and stuff? If your putting them in the pot then basically cooking them, while cleaning for barnacles doesn't that hurt there potency ?
The iceberg collision titanic giant ship or titanic giant boat sank thousands of deaths and thousands saved lifes boats. Lifes jackets.
Fog lamps.
I'm no crabber but just curious if baiting the pots, then dropping into the hot water to clean, is essentially cooking your bait? I would have guessed that the stacker would pull the clean pot, then bait and stack.
Hey I’m invested in my subscription to watching you soooo if you need to post less and focus on crabbin then I’ll live with it lol. What a hard worker y’all are 🇺🇸
Trade secret. Why trade secret. What if the boat sinks collision hitting an iceberg? ? The titanic giant ship or the titanic giant boat sank thousands of deaths thousands rescued. Lifes boats. Rescues boats. Communicates mores.
Is there any way you can give a ballpark idea of what your crab boat helpers make ?? I’m sure you pay them hourly - but just curious since I have never know anyone in the crabber business - I’ve bought crabs from you a couple times thus year - hope to get out at least 1 more time !!! Thanks for all you do !!
Why are you rebaiting pots and then soaking the fresh bait in the hot water for cleaning pots? I would think it would be beneficial to bring in the pot, clean it in the hot water, AND THEN place the fresh bait in the pot.
10 of them fat Croakers go for a decent $ 45 ~ $65 in South Korea. One type of fish Korean kings loved to eat back in them days
Thank you for your consistent positive nature despite challenging events in your life and business this year. Your respect for the beautiful Chesapeake Bay is such a celebration of Nature and her bounty.
Why are you steaming the shrimp while your cleaning the cage? Will that change the shrimp juices when you soak the cage on the next drop?
Just a thought from a non-crabber, wouldnt it be better to bait post dip? the dip would wash some juice of the bait. Or does the dip warm the bait up and make it more smelly? Also, is there any money in selling pre-cooked crabs at the stand? have mini crab rolls for the people waiting in line.
Happy Mat
Why not bait after you cook the trap. that’s what we do up north. Just seems like your cooking your bait
Dhoupd be cleaning before baiting thatvwayvyou dont blanch your bait
Why would you rebait the pot before you clean it? Shouldn't you rebait after it's boiled clean so you don't cook the bait add chemicals to it?
So I'm curious why you bait the pot before you clean it in hot water. Obviously it works for you so I guess the hot water doesn't effect the bait.
Luke when I was in Maine I went up there to help a friend of mine work and rebuild his 45 foot lobster boat for a season we used rock fish heads for bait. Have you ever tried that . And the other bait washer knew a butcher and we used raw beef and pork liver and all 3 or those baits caught very well for lobster would it work for your crabs. Thanks your friend in NC
Striped bass! Luke my family are fishermen in Gloucester ma! Would love to see you collaborate
Can’t you make your low market price crabs into cakes and other frozen products so you can sell during the off season that can make up for when the price drops because of over saturated market?
You are living the dream brother keep up the great work! First chance I get, Im coming out there to buy some crabs from your stand! 🤙🏻
Help wanted sign outside the boat stand on land. Contact information. Job interview or job interviews? ?
Repost you have crab seasoning, how about chicken seasoning called shake and bait.
This video was really interesting!! Cool to see how it all works! Thank you for sharing!!!
Luke, need you to do a video on how you get rid of a boat in Maryland and the costs associated. Some people are dumping their boats along highways and burdening the state to dispose.
Does boiling the fresh bait in the bath help with the pot catching the grab? Me not knowing, I would think boiling it would boil the juices out of the bait and not catch as much.
Love this insight Luke! Awesome video. Very informative. 👍🏻
Question on process. Looks like AJ is loading bait then dumping in the boil tank. Doesn’t this cook out the oil of the shrimp heads ?
Why do you Bait the Pot & then clean the Pot? Don’t you lose the Scent of the bait. What if you clean the pot Then bait it? What am I missing?
I have been wanting to buy your cull stick
Luke you should get something to be able to catch the massive crabs with huge arms
Would a drag net catch crabs and catch fishes? ? Layers of drags nets? ? Behind boat. Behinds boats.
Looks like those wrestling crabs went to the golden corral and got all locked up there at the soft serve machine. Can you imagine?😂
anyone that keeps and kills a sponge crab... is about as dumb as can be... Need that next generation
How can anyone not like this guy!?!?! Awesome job man, love the videos
