Iceman - Sorry, Maybe I phrased that wrong. I think 50 is great! I was meaning that I was shocked by MY performance at 50 when others are catching 100+ !! And I have a boat and 4 pots so for double J to get 50 with his set up - he kicked my butt! :)

It is all good, I did not consider your post a negative one at all.
Good job doubleJ, persistence pays!

My wife calls it an addiction. I do have an addictive personality and combined with adult ADHD, it makes for some fun times. I find projects and lock on and go balls-to-the-wall with it for awhile and then I find something else to do it with, almost completely neglecting the previous addiction. I have done it with roses, lilies, tomatoes, my truck, computer building, baking bread, and now crabbing. I don't completely drop the activity as I still do each of those to some extent and fully expect to crab next year. She just gets tired of it because I go all out and spend all this time and money on my new "Hobby" and then drop it after a few months.

97 Crab into my boat, 1 into a white North River. 100% dungies. No monsters, but nice average size. Biggest was pushing 8". Limits were usually the rule, and the only reason we didn't get more is I couldn't make it out enough or when I did, there weren't enough crab cards on board to keep all the crab we could have.
I learned that if you have an old school flasher on your old school boat, when it's flashing "70" you better make sure you're not in 170 feet instead. Especially if you only have 100 foot lines on the pots. I also learned that you feel a lot worse about it the second time you do it in a week than the first - especially when you're BS'ing on the water with that white North River...

Yep.....North River owners will send you astray every time. However, not as bad as guys that buy older bigger boats. They usually drink more booze and fraternize with loose women that make promises that are never kept.

Even your dog has crabs!

Speaking of, how many people do you think register their dogs and buy them licenses? This is Washington, there has to be a few.

Well, unless you have a beer & bait bi*ch on board. No kids allowed then. And as far as unkept promises, H20 - you ought to know a beer & bait bi*ch can't make those kind of promises! Skipper gets paid (in gps co-ordinates) first...
I'd go for signing up my dog for crab! But I'm pretty sure if my dog had a crab card he wouldn't turn it in, costing me $10 the next year... he's lazy. Didn't help clean any of those crab, either.
