Cab-trap

After a nice evening and morning of coho fishing I checked on my 1 crab trap.  It had the usual nice weight coming up but did not see the usual bright spectrum of colors from a full load of crab.

Either some dory fishermen were playing a joke or something, but I've never come across a quality fish in a pot.  This cab was big in the 20-22" range at least.  I released it and kept only one crab.  Weird!

Cool seeing Capt Redbeard and his wife slaying the fish as well yesterday!

that is awesome, nice pic too!

One of the Cabs favorite food is crab, this was just a greedy Cabby.

Good to meet you, onefish!

I have seen another picture of a cab stuck in a crab pot, so I think it really does happen. We have had several times when we are cleaning the cabs and there are whole, big, crab in their bellies, like to the point where you don't understand how they could possibly swallow it. Crazy!

I just want to point out that is one HUGE rockfish... the picture doesn't do it justice.

I was at the beach on Saturday with my family.  While it was 95 in Portland it was 56 at the beach and very foggy.  There was no way I could tell by looking if anyone was out kayak fishing, but tons of the dories where out.  I even had my kayak and fishing gear with me, but all the fog + wind + family waiting at the beach made me decide to just enjoy the beach.   I'm glad to see you and your buddy almost got two limits of salmon and a monster black rockfish.  Makes me wish I had ventured into the fog for them myself.
