I caught this behemoth female the other day.  Need a Taxidermist to do her up right.  My measurement was 10 and 1/8.  Contact me if you want to do it and I will send it to you in the mail.  I will look at prior posts for more info.

Very Nice

Very impressive.  Congrats

Wow - that's a monster!

Check with Tattoo here to mount it - I have two of his crab mounts and can attest to his great skill and artistry!
I can only stress on so many things in one day - looks like you're not making the list. Tomorrow isn't looking so hot, either.

Sure glad he isn't in the biggest crab contest because that would be a very hard mark to break.

What do you figure, only about 36 that size per bushel?

Hey Gene, so seeing you're sort of in the neighborhood, when can you get me a bushel ??? ???

I'll second that.  Well worth the extra money spent

The most amazing thing is one of our 10" crabs from Lousyana swam all the way to Carolina ;).  Awesome catch, congrats.  Please post photo of mount when done.
