Blue Crab Crabbing Two Ring Baskets (catch, clean, cook, extra dinner surprise) We're So Lucky

Editorial Summary

The creators demonstrate a method for catching blue crabs using drop baskets baited with fish and squid in Jenkins Creek, South Carolina. They explain the necessary equipment, including leaded baskets and zip ties, and discuss the importance of staying on docks to avoid interfering with boaters. Throughout the video, the group checks their traps, noting that fish bait appears more effective than squid. They encounter several small crabs that do not meet the legal size requirements before successfully catching several large keepers. The video also features fishing attempts that result in catching a stingray and a cow nose ray. After the crabbing session, the creators demonstrate how to clean the crabs by removing the lungs and apron. They conclude by steaming the crabs for fifteen minutes and serving them with melted butter and Old Bay seasoning. The experience is supplemented by a surprise meal brought by a neighbor, which includes mahi mahi and vegetables cooked with bacon grease.
