Default Re: Raritan river 7/9:

caught the biggest crab of my life from the raritan in new brunswick...i used to wade the river down there every year in late mid/late august thru early september...one trip I got one with one claw that was an absolute monster of a crab...carried him back up in my cooler to the car to measure him...didn't have a tape measure on me so i used a piece of string and stretched it point to point and cut the string...then i released the crab back into the river...went home and measured the string and it was 8 3/4" point to point...went online and did some research and found that it would have been very close if not broken a state record for blueclaw crab...i was pissed i tossed him back in the drink!
