That's why I take the 28 footer out there most of the time. Doesn't take but about 1.25 hours for 2 folks to catch there limit.

Boil it with crab boil and it’s a pretty good substitute.

Kinda like Trigger, mostly head, scales and guts but the meat is great.

Between 16-20 inches, they have a big rib cage and tuff scales plenty of videos on YouTube on how to clean them not to bad once you get the hang of it All men die few ever really live
