Catching the King

As mentioned last night, we let the two largest of the day get away.  Went right back at their spot under the staircase of the pier today.  Caught his lady friend first.  Got a hold on him but he took the bait and escaped the first two times today.  Third time was the charm.  This guy dwarfs 12 of the 13 other crabs we have caught, and he is nearly the width of all four females from today put together.  Interesting to watch them quickly line up behind him in the sink while he stood there, pincers spread, protecting and defending them the entire time.  Until it was his turn to hop in the hot bath.
