YoBBo 0 Posted August 27, 2008 Report Share Posted August 27, 2008 In the early days (80s & 90s) it was common practice for the boys at the uoter harbour terminal to have nets over the wharf everyday. They even had a copper in the maintenance shed to cook them. In the old mess room they had marks on the wall for the biggest crab. The largest measured was exactly 36 inches (3 feet) from claw to claw. Bloody huge! Quote Link to post Share on other sites

jagger 24 Posted August 30, 2008 Report Share Posted August 30, 2008 My father holding one that went 79cm, largest of the trip. Quite a few over 70cm but not quite as big as this one. The funny thing is, that the session the year before saw the largest one in at 79cm as well.
