OK, now lets see if I have this figured right. You North Carolina boys are always saying that you all have the better crabs down there and that us Marylanders don't know what we're missing. Now it turns out that the crabs you all are catching are REALLY Maryland crabs. How do you want to respond to this new revelation that has come to light???
They're just trying to get down here to "Mate" with the lovely Carolina Females.... Kinda What I Did Too............And I have never moved back to Md... I hope all your crabs don't stay down here... |

We had one in the late 70s that had been tagged 5 days earlier in Tampa. |

My Father Inlaw called the folks who released the Crab,They gave in some info but not much. The Crab was released above Baltimore Md. on the 17th of September 09...They told him that was the first Male crab that got caught out of the Bay..The said they have had sooks caught off of Florida,but never a Jimmie.They are going to send him more info in the next few days..

Incorrect Capt. Moose. The name Jack is spelled correctly, so the grafitti artist can't possibly be from New York.

Easy. He was on his way back to North Carolina. Tried the big city, couldn't stand the pollution up there, back home he came.  For the right price I'm sure Murry will put him on a truck and send him to you. |

That is a long way for that little crab. I wonder if he hitched a ride somehow (boat, barge)?
