"World's Deadliest Catch!" - ActiveRain Style

Okay, so we were never actually in any kind of perilous predicament, or in danger of losing our lives, ....but we did catch a lot of crabs!!!

It was the last day of the crabbing season, Labor Day Weekend, on the scenic Hood Canal in the Western Puget Sound of Washington State. The capable crew of Bob Stewart, Jonathan Washburn, my oldest son, Ben, and Yours Truly, set sail for a three-hour tour.... uh, wait a minute...that's a different tale!

We spent a good part of the afternoon motoring around the Hood Canal to where our crab pots were submerged, about 120 feet down. We pulled up 4 pots, and limited out with 20 legal sized male Dungeness crabs.

Then it was off to Pleasant Harbor to grab some munchies and soak up some rays.....

Jonathan provides the 'Play-by-Play' as Ben skillfully demonstrates the art of cleaning a crab!




Last Spring, it was The Great White Clam Hunters....this past Summer, it was King of the Crabs....What, pray tell, is next for our adventurous crew?
