Quoted from king-pin:They have to be 127mm across the carapace (shell from point to point).Small one in front is 134mm
Way to go King-pin. Fresh seafood, yum!
That is the same min size in Louisiana for commercial crabbing, 5" = 127 mm.
No min size for recreational crabbing in LA, but many people just throw back the little ones. 12 dozen per person per day rec limit.
When the crabbing is good here in S Louisiana, kids have a blast pulling up the traps and helping to catch them.
