i like how she's always doing all the work and he's just filming
Vanessa Ong a Real Pimp
He makes her work for the crab 🤭
Well he already said he doesn't really eat them she does so why would he work for her dinner but also he is technically the captain his job is to find the traps mark them find better places to set them etc. So he's doing his job just as much as she's doing hers lol
Imagine that crab fighting sombody and being like cmon Man U know I just lost my claw take it easy on me 🦀😂
Its just a flesh wound.
lmaooooooooo
I just love your longer vlogs, no matter what you're showing. Sadie is so adorable! I love the ones showing catch clean and cook with your family and friends!
Thanks so much!!
When she puts that first taste of crab in her mouth... that is the look of pure bliss.
Wow. Looked like a lake out there. Absolutely beautiful water.
The only 2yr old I ever seen to eat STONE CRAB yep she's a KEYS KID😊😊😊😊
Crabs are one of the most amazing foods ever
Alex L IKR they are amazing!!!!!!
You guy's have a Beautiful Kitchen, love all the woodwork on just about everything very nice....
You guys are so cute. Lol love the family vibes.
I love how every time she throws a crab into the sea she says “grow new ones”
stone crabs can grow 95% of their limbs back in 3 adult crab years. So I guess it's not terrible...
Mena The Official ye ik it takes 3 years wtf are they doing
@@Andy-od5jz study done shown that most the crabs with both claws taken off die , one claw crabs had a fairly low survival rate too if i recalt correctly
@@gmkhn66 remove one claw crabs likelihood of death in the next year increases to 40% vs 13% standard. Take off both claws that crab as a 60% chance of mortality within the next year. Now keep in mind even with a 60% mortality rate that's still a hundred percent better than anything a lobster ever experiences!
- Frustrating about people lifting your traps, the happens here in the UK also. I have actually just had some of mine stolen completely. Your Stone crabs are really cool. Such huge claws in comparison to their bodies.
Some people will nick anything. Someone actually dug up and stole my dad's tomato plants.
Dang
Lol Sara’s last comment tho.......I wanna come spend a few day fishing with y’all!
It’s messed up how you guys take both claws. I’ve been watching fishing vid for a while and you are the first I see that don’t have a problem taking both claws
Good thing commercial boats don’t post videos with 1000 claws
nelli rosas Ikr
nelli rosas shut up you sook Imagine having eight legs
Nelli...leave it alone...it's legal in Florida
Ronald Stewart .... leave it alone I commented this a months ago. 🥴
What a Precious little Lady. I used to catch them on Base in Mayport in the storm drains.. They're good eating when drowned in butter and garlic.
Checking the traps looks kinda fun....
Love watching Mahi Mahi being caught
Nick is working her like a boss
🤷♂️😂
I think its great that you all make such a good team in a business that is so fickle. Great job guys, good to see.
I miss Islamorada. My band used to play the tiki bar all the time. So many awesome memories.
Awesome vid! Met Sara at the Bud n Mary's marina after a good day of fishing off a charter. She was very nice in telling us about her lobster day. Good people just doing what they love.
Thanks! Appreciate it
nic you need to give sarah all yo money,she works on da boat an cooks da crab an feeds da baby,yall got it going!godbless..
How fun. I would love to go. Bucket List trip ! I cannot wait!
Big up little Sadie .bless up to your family my brother. Blessings everytime!
In key west, my dad is a commercial stone crabber and they taste SO good.
Cole Jackson Thats where your V-bucks come from son
Does your dad take both claws?
Jack Mehauff: It’s depends on the size of the crabs because bigger crabs grow both of there claws in a month and unlike smaller crabs which can take longer.
@@cole..jackson6107 that guy said it takes 7 years and another guy said if you take both they go in hibernation for the 7 years .. that's a great life . Also dont crabs use there claws to eat. They can pick meat of the
bone with them. What do they do if the claws are gone ? Go up an eat it with there mouth against the meat . Like we eat corn on the cobb. Let's take everyone's arms off and give them corn on the cobb and see how they do.
Jack Mehauff These are crabs we are talking about. Extremely primitive CNS.
Very nice video! I like it! Great catch and cook!
try dipping the cook claw meat in white or wine vinegar with a little ground pepper and salt. Let us know how you like it.
That is ice video guy !! i like so much !!
Whoa Nick can't believe u don't love Stone crab. It is the most succulent sweetest best tasting crab in the ocean. I will take it any day over ANY fish out there!! Great vid keep em coming and tight lines man
@StanzFam 😊Oh Sadie is the Most cutest babygirl I've ever seen so far💙
Looks yum. I boil mine with some sprite or mountain dew and deer meats trick of adding a spoon of white vinegar does magic with the meat seperating from the shell
I'm now understanding that they stand a better chance of survival, if you can take both claws. Apparently they won't try to fight with others, with no claws, therefore, not getting killed.
A fisherman that doesn't like seafood is like a rancher who doesn't eat beef. 🤣🤣🤣🤣
Wheres Sadie..shes the Star really..love the way she appreciates food and shes so Genuine..and she should have a little dog friend protector like 'rednek' , just like Lukey and Jakes Bestest buddy....
Thanks for the videos.. cheers
Awwww i seen her at the end..she should be on the boat and fishing and catching big swordfish..🤣..shes cool.
Thanks for the tip on the eating off the claw Sarah, You're good value..cheers
I love Sadie and look at her eyes at the end...She loves her Dad!!
Good video! Highly recommend!
Thanks 👊🏻
Been a super long time since I’ve had stone crab claws. In Texas, at least used to, you could only keep one claw and leave one with the crab. Also, I can’t stand poachers. Good catch tho.
Enjoying the longer videos! You are definitely no longer camera shy 😉
Haha thanks! Appreciate the comment
When I lived in Naples Florida that a Stone crab festival every year it was awesome
I can tell Sarah is a really smart woman no joke
Thanks 👍🏻👍🏻
These crabs a losing their limbs
I feel sad yet I still watch
ThatAnimeKid same
Stone crabs can grow 95 percent of their limbs back
Its a “safety feature” during a arttack they can eject the limbs and claws painlessly
How do they catch food tho?
great stuff.....from Forster NSW Australia
Thanks Ken!
Fine dining right there, one of the few things I miss about S. Florida . live in the Pacific Northwest now and we have Dungeness and they are also delicious !
Just found your channel. I'm kinda jealous how you're just catching all these CRABS!
Crabs use their claws for attracting mates, male crabs will size up their claws to one and another to judge if they want to fight over territory or not, etc.. crabs have mouths with sharp beak like pincers that act like a pair of scissors. Rotting fish is super mushy and easy for them to eat, like putting your hands behind your back and eating a bowl of mash potatoes. Crabs also have a quick release on their claws to protect themselves from predators as well, sometimes a crab will drop its claw in front of the predator to distract it as it slips away. I really wish people did basic research before you flood UA-cam videos with idiotic comments... I thought basic marine biology was taught in most high schools.
I don't in my school but I STILL understand this cuz I eat crabs lmao
Lucky little girl when I come down next month I would be glad to eat the claws that you pass up Nick.
Thanks for showing the knife trick. That was new to me
Thanks for watching 👊🏻👊🏻
I prefer the shrimp too. But fun watching you guys catch it, cook it, and eat it.
Very entertaining!
This is such an am amazing video !! Makes me wanna start trapping for Stone crabs ! I loved the entire video
Stop giving hate! This is food to us!! Crabs eat fish and octopus thats food for them, its just how life goes.
XxHorse. JumpsxX they use their claws to hang on them and grab their food but without their claws they can’t eat easily and they can die easier without claws
Love how the little one likes stone crab
Thanks for watching and leaving a comment 👊🏻👊🏻
So awesome your wife is game to go out and be on the water with you getting her hands dirty. CONGRATS TO BOTH OF YOU AND GOD BLESS
Thanks! Appreciate the comment
best seafood ever. trapped them for years but always left one claw in Pinellas county fl. it was the law there to leave one. it may have changed since that was about 10 years ago.
Cool, it’s different depending where you are on whether you can take one or both claws.
I'm actually curious what's the survival rate when these crabs get both of their claws removed.
We catch quite a few every season with no claws, but I’m not sure if exact survival rate. I know how you remove the claws makes a big difference
Man that looks good! I miss Islamorada, my band would play the Tiki Bar down there a lot.
That’s awesome, my stepmom worked there for 17 years back in the day
Thank you for sharing your family time with us. Great video!
Now this is some good 2AM content
Does it hurt them when you break their claw off?
If you do it right they will re grow their claws back. They just into full scavenger mode to feed at that point
I think so
@@StanzFam I really dont like youse like how would you like it if some one took both of your arms take one and leave the other. It's called sustainability
@@braiden2214 The stone crab fishery is the best when it comes to sustainability. The crab lives and grows back claws in a year. The season is only open half the year. You better believe the 100's of thousands of commercial pots in the water the commercial guys take both claws. The state of Florida which regulates the fishery says taking both claws is legal. If the population was in decline the would change the laws but thats not the case. Stone crab harvest numbers have stayed to same for many many many years. Some year are better than others just like any other fishery.
@@braiden2214 I can't begin to explain how dumb you sound comparing a human to a crab.
i grew up in South Florida was certified Scuba at17 years old fished throughout the Keys a lot, i can’t believe how many comments you guys generated about this negatively hurting the Crabbing Industry the people are nuts breaking a claw off has been going on for years and the Sony Crabs have been doing pretty fine watching the video not really was i much of a Stone Crabber myself as the majority of my Shellfishing was Lobster and Shrimping plus i wasa Avid Pole Spearing Fisherman on rare occasions i used reconditioned old Spearguns i bought a the Flea Markets and Yard Sales and priced back together to make them work
I bet you saw some great stuff here! Yes the comments are pretty funny. Commercial boats catching thousands and thousands of crabs/claws every year for many decades
Amazing Channel man....
Nick is the beat fisherman ive ever seen..no balls licking.. the guy is great
Your channel is about to blow up mate
Hopefully one day
@@StanzFam great video aswell, I thoroughly enjoyed it! I'm going to head down to the fish market and grab myself some crab tomorrow.
A family fishing together is an awesome thing, you and your little family are living the life down there! Question, does the knife trick damage the knuckle meat?
A little bit but not too bad
Yes
I would love them and I want to try them I've had plenty of bluecrab and lobster here up north but no stone crab.
That is not alright cuz if they have no arms they won’t be able to cut and kill there food
They eat dead fish on the bottom and vegetation
StanzFam how are they going to pick it up
@@NovaZz165 Im sure you could eat off the floor if you had no hands...
First video of yours I watched really enjoyed the video; subscribed 😁
17:19. Ur daughter is cute btw
Love your videos, keep them coming Nick!
Hey 👋 nick just subscribed to your channel man ....hello from England 🏴
Thanks for subscribing! Hope you like the videos
Instead of breaking their only way of eating.But yet again I enjoyed watching this at 12:23 AM ona Friday
This is the kind of wife I want
your wife is badass, pulling traps, cracking crab, you don't like crab, and that is just insane.
well she does run her own charters lol
@@hawkeye123fun She does?
Crabs best friend: “I told you not to trust that catfish Shirley when she told you about that free fish, nothings free, now look you got no claws, don’t ask me to help you with mine”
I cut the catfish in half & leave them in the trap for additional bait.
Jim A inhumane
You look like mr.beast!??
Everyone keeps saying that lol
No he doesn’t
Too funny Nick. Your dad should have raised you on Stones.
Maybe he did and you still don't like them. Me, Sara and Sadie would be fighting over them claws. :)
Super interesting to see!
Oh my..my mouth is watering! It's ok that u dont like them, it more for the rest of us!
Stone crab baby food.😂
That knife trick is nice...
If you don’t Love everything about any crab, i don’t think we can be friends 😬🤦🏼♂️😂
Mmmm, crab guts.
Let’s see you eating crab eyes
Almano Tolrado , the fat (butter) and the eggs are Delicious!
Jonathon Reimer , i haven’t eaten any eyes or lungs but pretty much everything else. My comment was mainly to express just how much I love crabs... I wish they were available where i live, I’d have them Very Often.
Great info!! Thanks you guys
I love this things they’re sooooo good.!! You can pay up to $80.00 a plate here in Texas
I would love to come down there and come get some of those
Yumm. I pulled my last week got 9 they were the best.
From FWC website. You can take both, they do turn more scavenger vs predator, BUT...
“Although the crab can still obtain minimal amounts of food with no claws, having one claw (if the other one is harvested) will enable the crab to obtain greater amounts of food in a shorter amount of time. Stone crabs (like other crustaceans) have the ability to grow back their claws, but this process requires a large amount of energy in the form of food.
The quicker the crab can obtain the energy required to molt and grow its lost claw, the sooner this renewable delicacy will have another claw to replace the missing one”
I guess you be your own judge.

Imagine how many crabs you could get diving
10% of comments: about video
90% of comments: y u take both claws that's mean and that they cAnt defend them self
Welcome to the comments people
Imagine taking both the crabs claws and throwing win back to die
What do they eat without their claws?
Get to cleaning Nick! Looking forward to seeing more videos.
It would be nice to try stone crab someday.
Mr. beast is that you ?
Haha, everyone keeps saying that
Thats some awesome vid catch and cook the more I watch ur vid the more I learn some new things
Polluting not trying to cap
Crabbing 😎
U guys should carry zip strips, heavy duty, 2 use them on the traps, they're good 4 all sort of things🐊😎🍻🤙
It's like telling us humans to get over with it when we lose a limb
Humans don’t grow limbs back, crabs do 😎
@@StanzFam 0_0 you win
How they eat if they hve no arms.?
8 legs
The state of Florida says its legal to take both claws. If taking both claws caused the population would be declining which it isn't. There are 100's of thousands of commercial stone crab traps in Florida and you better believe they take both claws. The season is only open for just over half a year and the claws grow back in one year to be harvested again. One of the most stustainable fisheries there is as the crab isn't killed. The crabs don't use their large claws to eat.The crab will release the claw when you put pressure on it in the right direction or use the knife trick. It doesn't hurt the crab. If the population was in decline the would change the laws but thats not the case. Stone crab harvest numbers have stayed the same for many many many years. Some year are better than others just like any other fishery. They don't use their large claws to eat with. A large to jumbo claw can't even get close to the crabs mouth.
How long does it take for them to grow new claws, and if they don’t have claws how would they catch there food
2-3 years to grow to legal size. They go into full scavenger mode supposedly with no claws. These crabs are in scavenger mode already though because they are crawling into traps and eating dead fish off the bottom, not necessarily hunting with their claws for live fish
People stop. This is how they make a living and get food on there table. So if ur gonna be a hater than don’t watch it
can you pls shut up I am trying to listen to the vid
Everyone has a right to there opinion so don't hate on what we say brother God bless you and your family
@@jordancarralero7050 good information like it very much thank you
Crab in garlic butter, yum yum!
When they broke off the claws I cringed so bad😣
Ikr like just kill it n eat everything🤷♀️🤦🏼♀️
Jamilla Green || it’s fine they can regrow it it just takes only a couple months and it’s way more humane than just killing the crab just to eat only it’s claws
Jermaine T actually declawing both claws will most likely mean a predator will snack on it. Maybe they should’ve just declawed one claw..
Jermaine T it takes a couple years to regrow one claw.
They did it perfectly did you see the crab with his starting to grow back
nice!, a great stanzfam, video!
Just wondering if you guys ever do charters for stone crab fishing or know someone that does
Sara does a handful of eco tour charters where she’ll check our recreational stone crab traps , shoot her an email to floridakeysecotour@gmail.com
@@StanzFam cool - I’ll send out an email
