Went out with the family about a week ago to take advantage of day light saving and spent a few hours on th swan having a fish.Not much landed and what was landed were all released, set a few crab pots as well and managed to pull in this big boy.His measurements were 203 mm across the carpace and approx. 840 mm claw to claw.Tasted fantastic.
Cheers OX

Ox that is a cracker!!! Last
Ox that is a cracker!!! Last season in the sound I nailed two crabs that went over 1 meter from nip to nip.
It was the first time that I nailed a crab over a meter in 20years!!And twice in 3 dives!Big stiffy!!
Look out asd I'm waiting to make up for last year and I will terrorise the crab population this year! !!Pepper and a crusty roll with butter!!!!
IF IT SMELLS LIKE FISH IT MUST BE GOOD FOR YOU!

Cracka
Top Stuff Ox. My PB crab went 203mm also. Scared the crap out of me when I came across it (diving). Looked like a monster from the deep. Decided to preserve it and put it up on the wall in the bar.
