I mean, I'm... So like right now, it's pretty hot.

It's good.

Yeah.

So, I mean, like right now, if I see, not all crabs are created equal, right?

So, I'm looking for big market-sized crabs.

So, I would say if I had a pot with six nice, big, heavy market-sized crabs, good grain, that's a good pot.

Okay.

You do that 575 times, you know, you're looking all right.

Yeah.

Right now, there's a load of crabs around, which is a good thing, but it also can be kind of a pain, you know, like.

You would pull up a pot that's got 20 crabs.

I'd say the average pot has 10 to 15 crabs in it right now.

Got it.

But I would say, like right now, there's a load of little crabs around, a lot of light crabs, all that kind of stuff they've shed out.

You know, there could be more than half of those crabs could be small or, you know, we got to squeeze every one of them to check the grade on them.

So, like, we grade crabs by the density of their shell, which indicates how much meat is inside of them.

And that is from when they shed out, you know.

Yeah, the denser the crab, the more meat, right?

Generally, yeah.

Why is that?
