also crab pot doors look small(the crab next to the crab pot secound one)
do big crabs(6in without the pointy on the side of the head, 9in with it) have trouble getting in

Looks like a Mud or Mangrove crab from SE Asia and Australia. The Handy crab Co has a massive soft crab operation in Malaysia , shedding Mangrove crabs and shipping them all over the world.

Smoked carp tastes just as good as smoked salmon .....when you don't have any smoked salmon.

As noted above...this is a crab referred to as a Samoan crab in Hawaii.
