So the girls got their heads together to create a tutorial on Crab Sexing. In case you don't realize, Katelyn, this is for you! Seen here is Angie holding crab while Jenny checks their size with the tool for measuring if they're a keeper or not.
The top photo is of a boy crab. His "pull tab" is long and thin. This boy is a keeper by the way!
This my dear is a girl. See how "rounded" her pull tab is? I'm sure there is a more difficult way to say it but pull tab fits perfectly to me. She is also more compact and got thrown back in to create more and more babies!
This was a light day on the water. We did get our limit of 10 and threw a couple keepers back, promising to see them soon. There were more girls than we have seen all season, and do you see the sea star? I guess everyone loves a good turkey drumstick.
Our Captain seems pretty pleased with the haul today. Or was it the crew he was pleased with?

You say "pull tab", we say "apron." Skinny apron = boy; rounded apron = girl.
