brgbassmaster Posted May 13, 2012 Posted May 13, 2012 Well i moved to guam about a yr and a half ago on a military pcs. I tried fishing out here but its really fished out. Catch some fish here and there but not many. So i started crabbing recently. The coconut crabs are land crabs. So we just put our really nasty stinky bait outside caves at night and go away for about 30 min come back and there chowing on the bait then just scoop them up. This one weighed in at 3.5lbs and is the biggest coconut crab i caught so far. These things get huge so i really want to catch a monster. This one somehow crawled up my wall and was trying to get into a cabinet in the garage. These things sure can climb. Quote

Super User Bankbeater Posted May 14, 2012 Super User Posted May 14, 2012 If I saw one of those things on my wall I think I would go screaming like a little girl out into the street ! Quote
Traveler2586 Posted May 14, 2012 Posted May 14, 2012 How do you cook it? Does it taste like chicken? Looks like a hell of a nice crab cake:) Quote
brgbassmaster Posted May 15, 2012 Author Posted May 15, 2012 Haha ya everyone says it looks like a big spider... We cook it in coconut milk, garlic, and salt. Good eating right there boys. Oh and its butt is like a lobster tail. People pay big bucks for these bad boys. Quote
Super User LgMouthGambler Posted May 15, 2012 Super User Posted May 15, 2012 I hate spiders, and thats too close to one. I know where I amm never going! Quote
NCbassmaster4Life Posted May 15, 2012 Posted May 15, 2012 I wonder if they would be a good continder with the camel spider? Quote
Traveler2586 Posted May 16, 2012 Posted May 16, 2012 Let's see.... I think I see a....... Brahma Bull with his tong sticking out...... My doctor says I'm getting better.... Quote
Global Moderator Bluebasser86 Posted May 16, 2012 Global Moderator Posted May 16, 2012 Kill it, kill it with fire! Then maybe eat it. Do they move fast or are they as slow as they'd look like they would be? Quote
brgbassmaster Posted May 17, 2012 Author Posted May 17, 2012 There somewhat fast..when you try to grab them there quick. they can take off a finger in a second. There super strong to theres a certain way to grab them. They rip apart coconuts with ease so ya a finger would be nothin lol. And yes definitely eat it. Quote
Super User MCS Posted May 17, 2012 Super User Posted May 17, 2012 That is pretty cool. I have seen them before on one of my vacations. Picked it up with stick, have a pic of it lol. Man they sure look like they would be good eating, wish I could try some. Quote
