Man, you western shore guys have some strange stuff going on over there. Potomac is full of fish that're changing sex and now you've got crabs sprouting mutant claws!!!!

Yeah forked claw tines, might be a new state record. Did you score him? My guess would be 3 5/8. Never seen nothing like that before.

Actual score on him was about 6 1/4 - pretty nice crab. Sure a yummy endangered species after I steamed him & added some old bay! ;D
Wouldn't mind catching his brothers next year - SURE THEY'LL TASTE GOOD TOO!

I worked for my Dad (local waterman) when I was growing up and I've only seen two others like that. Considering I probably culled through a 1000+ bushells in my day, it's pretty rare.

After I cooked him, I saved his claw. Still got it at home, next to a whitetail mount I have. Thought it was pretty neat & knew I may never see one like that again.

Have you found any sheds. Looked to be at least 2 1/2 years.
