Have those exact bait holders in my pots, they don’t work well compared to the good old wire square bag things , they are such a pain

@RalphMaccio we will spare you

That crab is accountable for the destruction of its own habitat.
PHUCKO
In Russia trap crab you

LeadByBadExample
Meh, it got lucky. It wasn't really a targeted effort, more brute force. Try and hope.
OldMadDad
Can we talk about WHY IS THERE A CAMERA IN A CRAB POT?

Crabs are people! Clams are people! Legit or quit!
RipSaturn
I like how he opens it fast but closes it immediately with his little claw
JustDraven
Haha dumb animal
Lobuttomize
Why not a screw on lid or some sort of lid lock
Empurpled
Because then only the octopuses would steal the bait.

That's why your supposed to wire them shut

If a toy is on my dogs bed, he doesn’t know how to move it and admits defeat and sits somewhere more uncomfortable.

I like to pinch
dongeo
Hahaha, if he's such a smart crab, how did he get stuck in water though?
darkspork
Its not his first rodeo.
HiMyNameIsReggie
Survival of the fittest, when you fish all the stupid crabs, only the smart ones breed.

Doesn't seem to work that way with deer.
Domehammer
Need smart deer for that.

The ocean is full of smart little fuckers, it's terrifying and fascinating all at once

Crabs are great problem solvers, so long as the solution to the problem is "Grab it and pull hard."
Smayds
He's not that smart, really. I could have opened that nearly twice as fast.
nattesheim
For me it's only terrifying.

Can we just appreciate that he only takes one? I appreciate non - greedy crabs

I've never seen the little bait holder thing. We always just tied the bait to the trap with twine.
hugemuffin
Same, one time I used a bit too much twine and the crab pulled the chicken free of the trap. It was okay as the crab came up with the bait.

They're learning... It's only a matter of time.

If you try try try

Crab people!
vendorsplendor
you're talking about a creature which for hundreds of thousands of years had removed meat from shells, etc. just doing it's job.
RalphMaccio
I'll bet you're fun at parties...
vendorsplendor
Not when I start ranting about the ocean. ;) Especially the state of the coral reefs.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
1) yeah... but, also: there are countless examples of wild animals learning new behaviors directly from human hunting interactions.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
2) there are also multiple examples of different types of monkeys teaching each other to use tools in the wild.
JustARandomStrangerOnTheInternet
3) they are learning. and i find it exciting.
vendorsplendor
This isn't an ape though, let alone a mammal. It's basically a marine spider. It's just doing what it's hardwired to always do. Lol.
eroso
How's the trap supposed to work?
majortool
.
ThinMartin
Maybe they are supposed to just stay around the bait until someone gonna pull the net up?
letsnotandsaywemight
"Ring trap" Its attached to a string, once you think youve got one you yank on the string and it's caught. Source: I'm from Maryland.
grandmastonguekiss
BringBackVanillaCoke
I believe the net just sits on the bottom for a few hours. The crabs investigate the bait and the fisher pulls the net up
sometimeswhenwetouch
It's called a hoop net. You just pull it up randomly and hope to catch 'em in the act.
MarioPoppins
That seems like there is probably a better way
JasonWaterfaIIs
You can ask them politely but translaters are expensive.
sometimeswhenwetouch
Yeah, amateur fishermen are limited to hoop nets in a lot of areas (U.S. at least) to protect the crab populations from over fishing.
Icantbebothered
This is what I use. Put fish guts or whatever in there, the crab goes inside, and can't get out. https://imgur.com/VqfrumL
AncientPostNecromancer
In Texas we use chicken drumsticks with a mesh baggy over them, their claws get stuck in the mesh, you pull em to the surface and put [1[
AncientPostNecromancer
Your net underneath them and retrieve. It's quick, effective and you can catch a few hundred in the morning and have a fry in the evening.[2
CometLaHal
i always just tied a piece of chicken to a string and had the string set on a post.
Maybeinanotherdimension
Yes, I always felt the traps were cheating.
MarioPoppins
I always just accidentally catch them when I am reeling in a fish
CometLaHal
reeling up a tag'along is always fun
