I thought of you when I posted this thread Irwin. Good to see you around buddy. Yes, you can keep both sexes as long as the female is not in berry.

Look at the last picture in this link: http://www.tpwd.state.tx.us/huntwild/wild/species/bluecrab/

This female is in berry, meaning she is carrying eggs. You have to let them go then by law.

BTW, my wife and I enjoyed more crabs, onions, garlic, sausage, and red potatoes during the Saints game against Carolina. That was a close one!

Picture 12 looks like the crab is looking right at the camera. Kind of reminds me of the crabs on the pipe in the movie Finding Nemo.

They must reproduce faster then the dungenes crab it take 5 years for a dungenes crab to become legal on the Oregon coast. One year they let people keep female crab and almost wiped them out.

I'm not sure Irwin, it could be quite a few different factors. The Dungies definitely get bigger and our waters don't get anywhere near as cold as y'all's do. I imagine the water temps have a lot to do with it.
