then I must be catching a different stone crab than you
like I said we catch them all the time in tx and have boiled more than a few
there's no meat in the body worth eating

I have never seen anyone open one up and enjoy eating it

Turn your crabs on their backs when you take them out, keeps the juice in.

Not sure if these stone crabs were Jimmy Buffett fans or not.

I thought you could only keep one claw per stone crab.... That thing is a beast though I have never caught one that big.

you pull off the large claw and let them go...I actually think that may be the law also

ETA: not illegal

We caught some big ones in Little Lake in Leeville a few years back, and it was honestly the best thing I've ever eaten in my life.

They weren't as big as the one you're holding.

And, FTR, we pulled off 1 claw and threw the crabs back.

I bet they are cheaper to buy down in GI/Fourchon.
