Catch and cook dungeness crab - how to catch crabs on Oregon coast 

Good job, PK. I learn lots from your videos. Catching, cooking, scouting, gear. Also inspired by seeing you having such a good time. Thanks a lot!

That was fantastic! Loved the way you tossed the females back in. Never heard of OJ to cook crab. That rock fish omg!!

Thank you for all of your videos it's very enjoyable watching! Thanks again for everything

I've never had Dungeness crab, but I'm getting really hungry watching you guys eat. .. :-)

WOW... a full pot of dungeness in only 1 hour..!! and cooking them right in the parking lot of the harbor in your boat..YUMMMMMYYY The 49er hat told me to watch this video..!

Here in Maryland people could fish for an entire day and not catch as many crabs as you did with your two pots in two pick ups! Wow! The crabbing in Oregon is unbelievable!

Woohoo, it’s almost September. Can’t wait to go crabbing with the fam. We’ve never crabbed in Coos Bay, looks like we need to check out some more spots further south. We always crab in the Tillamook Bay.

This the first for me never heard of people putting any crabs in boiling orange juice... nice

I am land locked..... I really appreciate your videos I love deep sea fishing never done crabbing but I would love to try it.

Always Informative Always Entertaining! PK "I got Crabs" Yi

That's the same method we cook our dungeness crabs, clean before cooking. Cleaner tasting meat and you don't run the risk of getting VERY sick from an undercooked whole crab (been there, not fun). The commercial crabbers cook them whole because they charge by the pound.

i've tried to explain to people who are not from the northwest why we clean our crabs before cooking them but for some reason it just doesn't sink into their heads. we do it for 2 reasons: the crab leg/claw halves fit in a smaller pot and cook faster using less fuel, and due to all of the industrial pollution that has happened over the past decades in our coastal and inland tidal waters we do not consider the 'guts' aka the butter or liver as safe to eat, as this is where anything toxic will accumulate in the crab. toxins don't accumulate in the meat, so that is safe to eat. also, psp is a constant problem here and eating crab guts is more likely to get you killed by a psp infection. it's the same reason why we clean razor clams before cooking.

Aww man that looks good! One of these days. Thanks for sharing. Great video. Tight lines!

That water looks pretty clean

All the times I’ve seen crab cooked, I’ve never seen it done with orange juice. Do you notice the flavor or n the crab when you eat it?

Hello ,. For beginners or just learning to fish, what fishing rod/spinner combo & what line size I can use for each, can you recommend. I'm from nor cal. planning to fish at beach and pier. planning to get two,. maybe light and medium? or should I go for ultra light and medium? thank you for the reply in advance.

Hey PK what is the brand of your crab trap?

Sim from the south and the is the second best seasoning Tony's sasheries is the best

that is freshness !

Do you have problems with pod poachers there too?

Aren’t the crab bland without being boiling in salt water

Wow what's the limit in Oregon? It's 5 a person a day at Whidbey Island...

Great! God Bless you

PK I'm new to the game. How ever you have two monitors/GPS on this trip; can you explain.

whats the catch limit?

I too love the elbow meat

I'd love to come crabbing with you up there

what size boat you in pk? 14?

OMG everytime i watch this video i get sooooo hungry... yummmmmm the sound of the crunching lol

I was just at Seaside and was able to catch around 30 perch over a few trips using your method. Thank you for teaching it to me.

Dentists all over are cringing when you use your teeth to crack those shells. Lol

I love Crabs!! Nothing like a nice pot of Dungeness crabs!

With the exception of being a 49ER fan..you know what your doing..lol

It would be great if you'd put a Go Pro type cam inside your Promar pot. It's fun to see what all goes on while it soaks. I have a propane turkey cooker and throw in one McCormick crab boil bag into boiling water. Tastes like Louisiana crab boil.

Been pinched a couple of times by a dungeness ...extremely painful lol

When I used to do commercial blue crabs in TX, when pulling traps I would spin the boat in a circle. This way you are only pulling against the center of the circle instead of against the boat and current. We hand pulled about 200 per day this way.

My daddy always told me “Never trust a man that doesn’t cook crabs whole!”

PK Yi Love how you respect the limit and size laws. if everyone did that there'd be enough nice crab outings for everyone. Please keep up the good work. Love your vids

I like to see when they catch n clean and eat video , gets me all excited, reminds me of my younger days in Miami , great job craving.

Does your trap have escape door with string holding it shut , that will rot and let crab out , if you lose your trap ? Otherwise crab will forever crawl in and die , if trap is lost .

WHERE'S THE MELTED BUTTER???

Florida only has blue crab.. I wish we had that type of crab... Blue crab sucks

DEC. 4TH MY 76TH BIRTHDAY WOULD LOVE SOME CRAB I`M JEALOUS. 2019

LMFAOOO the way he just toss them over his back

We are going to have to give you a new name! Crabmaster!!! Again great video nice Rockfish !! Thank You for sharing!!!

Looks so good! I feel I'm right there crabbin' with you!

How dare you toss us females out like that!!! 😂 😂

Lived in Coos Bay for 20 years, mostly in Charleston/Empire area. I was a commercial fisherman on big trawlers (nets), catching bottom fish, shrimp, and occasionally tuna (with hooks/lines). Never crabbed from a boat in the bay. I always just sat at the end of the docks and tossed crab rings. Almost always caught legal ones. It just takes time, so bring a 12-pack. It used to be legal to crab off Oregon docks without a license. Don’t think that’s true anymore. Furthermore, I always thought you’d have to leave the bay (cross the bar) to catch rockfish!

Love the catch and cook crab shows the beast

For blue crabs we use chicken necks, bull lips, eel, or clam packs.

Why Don't You Cook Them Whole, The Good Stuff Is Inside The Shell

Excellent video! It makes me want to come out from the east coast to try this out. I know you cannot get food this good in a restaurant.

The first fish black fish u tried to pull out the hook 😂 but u kept pulling up not side ways and out like damn homies like yo the other way !

Mmm mmm mmm delicious

Wowwwww this is an amazing video. Just discovered you.Subscribed... lol #phillyEAGLE2 so please blur out that. SF hat. 😄😄😄😄😄😄😄

Great video! Cant wait for more

Great video to watch while isolating. My 6 year old wants to know if the sharp legs poke you and if so, does it hurt?

Love the Cave Man Attitude -- DO IT WITH WHAT YOU GOT!!!

Those crabs most be pretty docile. Pull a blue crab out of a pot here in N.C. and it’s claws up and snapping ready for a fight. Like trying to to wrestle a pissed off ninja! Awesome video, would love to fish in Oregon.

Love your vids keep up the good work

Throwing All Of Them Good Craba Back Damn

Great vid, down here on the gulf coast we just add a couple of teaspoons of zataran's crab boil to a pot of boiling water. Throw in some potato's and corn on the cob.

When you throw the crabs like that, you could possibly kill them. Better to just place them back in the water. Also, when you rip off the head like that, they are still alive. Best to dispatch them in boiling water. Kills them instantly. Also, the crab butter is very flavorful, yet you wasted it. Not really sure you know what you are doing.

Nice catch! Our record came out of Bandon. Four people, 8 pots and 96 legal crabs in one pull. We had to release four limits of legal crabs. The crabs were absolute giants too. State Police was checking boats at the dock. They measured a couple then said, "No reason to measure those". I said "those are the small ones" and opened the second ice chest with the largest crabs in it. They just laughed.

You threw back that little Rockfish and said you wanted to catch one bigger I guess your wish was granted if you throw that Rockfish back and you don't catch one bigger I guess you're screwed LOL

I remember when my uncle cooked 🦀 crabs we always cooked them in OLD BAY THEY WERE SOOOOO GOOD LOLOLOL 😆

Hey just a little thing that I like to do, I score or cut a lot of slices into my chicken\turkey\bait, that causes more scent and blood and juices to be released into the water! I figure it makes sense, don't you agree?

Those black rock fish look like large mouth bass

They way he tossing them back over his shoulder 💀

I've seen those Lil frs snorkels on the beach, and I figured out how to dig them up with a stick, I'm going to eat them like you..thanks.

m sitting here listening to those seagulls while your eating this saying, DONT DO IT.... dont even do it.. do not even drop a piece... lol Those birds are such tattle-tails. you can not feed one without feeding all of them on the beach.lol

I liked your crabbing video it's very interesting to looked at with a lot of excitement! thanks for loading this VIDEO!

Commercial "orange" juice is nothing but glucose/sugar and additives and chemicals, I'd just boil them in sea water.

Heading your way next week, we will be in Lincoln city, Newport and Florence. Thanks for the great channel.

I’m totally offended you refer to everyone as “guys.” Totally offended. Like I’m going to start pretending to be a non-guy.

THESE CRABS DO NOT SEEM TO HAVE MUCH FIGHT IN THEM COMPARED TO THE BLUE SWIMMER CRABS

I love watching you catch the crabs and cooking it!

I thought seal only wanted kisses from a rose.. not a chicken leg

Hello PK, I really enjoy your videos. You do such a great job making them. I live down in South Texas near the coast and used to crab a lot as a young boy. Thanks for sharing.

Putting bait on the bottom? You must not have sand fleas like we do here in Alaska. They will strip anything they can reach in a heartbeat.

Nice catch. Didn’t know Oregon open crab a month early than Humboldt?

Crab from the uk is not the same. I’d love to go to Oregon to do a catch and cook. Definitely on my bucket list.

boil them in sea water and you're good to go. that's all you need. And what a shame you throw away the shells... the best part is in there. just feel like crying when watching you doing that.

instead of using your OJ why are you not using seawater as I do it all the time and it is so good, Looks so good Thank You God Bless and Be careful!

I saw you counting the no.s of the carbs you catch, more than 20 is a crime or what!? The same thing happened in a other video also.

Here in the philippines we put sprite on it.. it taste good too...:)

Kung dto yan Sa Pinas taba2 walang tapon hahaha Just saying 😂😂😂

I'm jealous

I bet PK in his head was like: COME ON BABY MAKE IT 20!!!!!!!

THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH for this Incredible video. Your Awesome

Supper fresh, sweet, delicious and succulent dungeness Oregon crabs! to feast with!

I enjoyed the video and learned a lot wish I was out there..lots of love from GA..new subscriber❤

Orange juice! Ruined those crabs!

I never would have thought to use orange juice to cook crab in. I'm going to try that some time.

Crabs cooked in orange juice! never known that before, bet they tasted lovely.

PK, make it easier on your back, go to harbor freight, pick up their small winch for 49 bucks,(twenty five hundred pounds of pulling power), then over to an exhaust shop have them bend a pipe to reach over the side of your boat, make a sort of boom set up, use it to raise your pots, bring up the pot swing it in the boat and your ready to cull the catch. If I had your address I would send you a setup for all the great informative videos you have given up.

소소한 즐거움이 있는 일상이 행복해보입니다. 저도 해보고싶군요. 이때만 해도 covid도 없었고 모두 평화로왔는데.. 오리건의 요즘 모습은 어떤지 궁금합니다.

I'm curious about the orange juice. How does it taste when boiled with the juice? i bet it's awesome! i'm trying that next time

PK, where in Coos Bay were you crabbing? I would like to visit there some day.

You should have brought some more seasoning and some eggs. It will makes it even better.
