Bagged out!! Big mud crabs !! Solo hunting.. Catch and cook microwave cookup!!

Howdy howdy legends and welcome back to another episode. We are currently on our way down to the creek. I have a smile on my face but it has been a rough week to say the least for the Curry family and his employees. So we got to work Tuesday after the long weekend to find our work trailer, our company trailer to be knocked off, gone, locks cut. Don't even know if they strapped the scaffold down and the planks down on top but they have just driven off with the trailer, spray gun, tools, planks, trestles, the lot. So we are currently on the lookout and asking for your help in North Queensland. If you do see this trailer or any tools that are getting sold cheap related to spray gun, it was a big blue 1095 Greco spray gun. It's probably long gone by now but you never know. So me and the old boy did go down on Friday for a bit of a fish. I didn't even take a camera we were just going down for just to get our mind off things and get out on the boat. We did take the four-wheel drive Mycarnie top ender out. I bloody love that boat and I can't thank Chris enough for lending it to me but we left four pots in the water. I was going to go check them yesterday but got busy, got held up with the kids soccer and whatnot. So it has been 48 hours and they have been soaking. So it is going to be a bountiful trip hopefully but we will find out once we get down there. So long as the poachers haven't touched them I think we'll be on. I've got that long-tailed tuna and some chicken carcasses in them so should be a bloody good bit of bait and we should have some good results. But also the Easter giveaway winner has not come forward. I've searched all the social medias can't find them anywhere and they haven't found me. So what I'm going to do I'm going to keep a five pack of crab cups aside. I have an extra pack there so I'm going to do that for them in case they do come forward and I'm going to redraw the whole thing. So you get a five pack of crab cuffs, a crab measure, a hat, a cooler, a lure, a few stickers. I think that's all of it but it's a pretty cool little pack if you're getting into crabbing and the crab cuffs they're worth their weight in gold. So we're going to get down here we're going to check these ultimate pro crab pots that I've got in the water. I've got four of the 900 pots soaking. Like I said we're going to get down here check them and see how we go. I might do a little cook-up after it but I will draw that Easter giveaway after we do that. I'll see you on the water. Let's get it dude. Let's get to the boat ramp baby. Time to take off the party hat for the workout boys. Let's get it. All right boys and girls we are coming up to putt number one. Like I said it has been a 48 hour soak. You can see me famous red float up there and it is attached to a 900 Ultimate Pro crab pot. So I'm going to float in there, pick him up, reverse him out and we'll see what we've got hey. What do we got boys? What have we got? This is half the reason I bought this boat today as well. Didn't want to get the top end of dirty again. I am taking it back today. We'll give that a nice little clean. Oh we got a big boy. We got two big boys. Lovely. Empty that bait out. All nice rusty boys too. All right bait is gone. I'll sort this box out because I got all my stuff in it. Everything you need to go crab and we got our crab cups. We got our crab measure. We got our bag for the crabs. We got the stuff for the people that for the things that bite us. We got a bit of hydration. All right let's get these boys out of here. No fighting boys. We got Mr trusty measure. We are just sitting here. He's good all day on the money boys. That's one and he's a nice hard crab. You know where he's going? Straight in a crab cup. We'll just do a lucky dip on colour. Oh we got a pinky first up. It's as easy as this boys. On the ground or up on an esky. Depending on whether you want to land down. I don't even have an esky in here. Bang and around that one. Bang. I was at 10 seconds. You can also double him up but we don't need to. Better stop that before I get monetized. And we got number two in here. This one might be borderline. Where did I put Mr measure? There he is. Let's see. He's good boys. He's good. In a cup. Let's go. Now what I'm going to do. I got this pop first. It's the first one in the creek. The rest are out towards the mouth. And we have an incoming tide. So I'm going to go up to the last one now. And we'll work our way back hey boys. And that's two crab cups crabs. Beautiful. All right let's get it. See you at the next pot. The first pot was up at that creek. We got three pots in between. This is the last one. Let's see how bountiful it is. Pot in hand. Wind has got us. But that is okay. One. Two. Three legals I think. Boys we are on here. All right I'll take us out to the middle. And we will sort this pot. That is redonkulous. Just float out in the middle for a second. All right let's sort these monsters. Get rid of this bait first. That bit of mud on it. Get rid of the stake. It's as simple as shake shake shake. Bait is gone. Now we get the crabbies. We get the crabbies. That fella's gonna be them till it's too small. Cheers. See you later. That fella's a goody. Check him. We'll check him. Yep. All day long. Quick crab cuff. If you want push him up against there just to hold him. But I like to pull him away so I can roll him forward. It is the trick to these. Once you got it there rolling forward. Bang. Rolling forward. Can't do nothing. You're holding it there with the strap. Boom. Three crabs done. That is another beautiful crab. Oh we got both. That's all right. Check him on the measure. Good all day. He is good all day boys. I think we're gonna bag out. I've only done two pots. It's the 48 hour soak and the good bait. Tuna and chicken. Tuna and chicken boys. Bang. This fella might not make it actually. He's got a broken spike. Yep. He don't make it. It's all right. Four crabs. Two pots. We'll break this fella down. Show you it's as simple as this. Bang. Retractable arm. Bang. Retractable arm. Look at that. Store nice and flat. Oh we got a bit of chicken cucks there. Bang. And then what I like to do just to keep it neat in the boat. Put your ropes on top. And I just chuck my clothes up the front there. Boom. See yous at the next. Oh there's two more boys. And a whole lot of mud in the boat. So just didn't look. But we've already bagged out. Currie made a mistake. Didn't press record on the last pot. I'll give yous a look in a second. This is the last pot. We'll give him a watch. But it was null and void because we've already got our number. Messed up boys. I did. I'm not gonna lie. Didn't press record on the last pot. But have a look at this. Have a look at this. Let's put it back in the boat. I pulled three. There was actually five legal crabs in that last pot. Oh that crab cup's not real center. But one. Let's stack them up anyway. One. Two. Three. Four. Five. Six. And lucky number last. Seven. Have a gee at that boys. Four are the best. Produce seven of the rustiest. They are all rock solid crabs. Let's get back to the mainland. I'll cook a few of them up for yous. Let's get it dudes. Oh we also, we also have that giveaway to do. So I'll get back home. I'll get on the program. And we'll get it done. I'll see yous then. Not a bad day's crabbing though boys. You stay there. I'll be back. All right. I've entailed me uncle to come over with some nice salt water. Because I actually forgot to get a bucket today. And grab the carb oil and cook these up. But I am going to show you a special way I love to cook them. So I've grabbed this fella. He's got some nice beautiful nippers. Old Maltese cross. That means he's been rubbing on a female. So I'm going to take him inside and I'll show yous what I do with him hey. Let's get it. What I do. I'll put him up right down quickly. And I will cover them back up with the nice wet Hessian bag. And I will give them another drink. Before I go to bed tonight. But we'll grab this fella. Hello kitty cat in the window. And we will go prepare him. I'll show yous what I do. All right. So the very first step was to put him in here for 10 minutes. He has gone dormant. So that is the freezer side of my fridge. He should be nice and relatively asleep. And all you need for this way of cooking is a bit of cling wrap. And a microwave. A.K.A. microwave. But I will show yous how to prepare it. I'll get you set up and I'll come back. All right. We are back. Old Cocomelon to the rescue. As you can see over me shoulder. Bob is happy. All right. So like I said we've got crab wrapped up three times this way. Now you just want to get your cling wrap. Honestly the bloke that showed me this was an ex-pro crabber. And I laughed in his face when he told me he cooked a crab in a microwave. A.K.A. microwave. So we're wrapping him up the other way. Like I said. Three times. Can be five. Can be six. But you don't need to waste the cling wrap. So that's the third time. Rip him off. Fold him all up. Like I said Mr. Crabby's asleep. Now this is one little trick we have to do. You want a plate first of all in your microwave to catch all the juices. Or else the missus wouldn't be happy. So I've got a nice microwave safe plate here. Now to save a few of the juices. You want to put the crab. Because you've got to flip him halfway. Feet down first. So his feet down on a plate. Now in the microwave he goes. Straight into the center of the microwave. Close the door. And we want four minutes thirty. Start. Once that four minutes thirty is up. We pull him out. Quickly flip him. Another four minutes thirty on the other side. Bob's your uncle. And I swear to you. It cooks in all its own juices. It doesn't dry out. And it is. Everyone I have given a nipper to. That has been a boiled nipper or a microwave nipper. They've all said the microwave nipper is better. So please try it. Give it a go. And I'll see you when it's cooked. While we're waiting for that first four and a half minutes. I'm going to do the Easter giveaway draw. So remember that was for the five pack of crab cuffs. The Crab King crab measure. Crab King hat. Which was absolutely awesome. I've got it over here. I don't know why I'm not wearing it to be honest. And also the Crab King cooler. I've thrown in a fishing with curry sticker and a lure. So it's a good little giveaway. Especially if you're getting into crabbing. So I'll quickly get onto the program now. Run them comments. And I'll put it up on the screen. The whole beep beep beep. I've just flipped it. Four minutes thirty on the other side. Bob's your uncle. And she's in there. She's cooking. Let's get it. Oh it's end time baby. Open that straight up. Sink is nice and clean. Actually I'll grab him with this. See them juices. Do not spill them. Do not spill them. And just get water straight on him. He's still sealed in there. This is just to. Oh how much of that I recorded. I've just grabbed the plate out and tipped it straight on here. He's still sealed. So I'm just running some cool water over him. Just to cool him down. So we can unwrap him. And I will show you the end result. It is unbelievable. I'll tell you that. Now this is still warm. Look at that. Peels out perfectly. A little bit stuck there. But look at this. This is going to be a good one. And like I said. It cooks in all its own juices. Oh honestly. That is some of the best crab meat. Oh. You will have to eat. Super good. Super good for me. Oh it's still so hot. That is lovely. I'll see yous on the next one legends.
