Went out for crab yesterday 11/27/16. Launched at Mukilteo and headed east along the shoreline toward Everett. There was a commercial crabber working a line of pots from the Boeing dock eastward. We went further down and made 2 sets with 3 pots, 30-60 feet, soaked each set for an hour. Got 2 keepers, 2 more that would have been big enough but were soft shelled and released, and an assortment of smaller ones and females released. Also got and released this odd-looking crab-like creature. Anyone know what it is?

With the cold snap we've had lately, how about we call it a snow crab for good measure? *lol*
