  • Ever wonder what happens on the ocean floor when you drop a crab pot hoping to catch dinner? Well, watch this and you will see. The sandy ocean bottom is teeming with life in all shapes and sizes. This crab pot is at a depth of 25 feet with the tide rising for two more hours. Enjoy! More videos ‪@TanagirlAK‬

      It might be a sunflower sea star (star fish). It is one of the largest species of star fish to exist. They have more limbs than a regular starfish.

  • @Sea-cucumber1151
    @Sea-cucumber1151 Год назад +6

    Love all the awesome sunflower starfishes. It appears to me when the food was at the bottom they had to come into eat and was easier to eat then hanging upside. That one pot I watched, yes I watched another pot, it had it on the bottom which made more sense. First nothing could eat it unless they came in, when it’s on the top it looks like anything could snack on it from the top and never come in. Also when it was on the bottom the amount of crabs and fish chowing was amazing. They all wanted a piece and could climb over each other vs more limited space when you have to hang. Just an observation. I would just put the food cage to the bottom and not the top and do a experiment. Just seems more inviting to crabs, because everyone wants to be where the crowd is, and it everyone is hanging from the top no one will see them. Want those crabs to have fomo!

    As already commented, Deadliest Catch never showed this. And they have more camera gear than anyone. This is so fascinating. I never realized how smart they are. Makes me feel bad when people drop them into scolding hot water and boil them alive. I imagine they feel every ounce of that pain. I remember living in FL and we cooked crab. You could literally hear them scream when they hit the boiling hot water

    The larger and very curious fish in the video are Sculpin. The flounder-type fish are either baby Halibut or another fish we call Arrow Tooth, which look similar to Halibut but are not as tasty. Of course, the crab are Dungeness crab. The star fish are actually sun fish. It is amazing, and annoying, how sun fish can squeeze into the small opening of the crab pot.

    BrO! You have your pot UPSIDE DOWN.. The bait is suppose to be at bottom of cage.. The crabs can feed on top without even entering the cage.. Also you need weights zip tied alone the bottom of your cage to keep it right side up.. see your doors are suppose to open inward from the top ,so when the crabs get in they fall down so when another crab comes in, a different one can't escape.. also if your pot gets moved around, and sand is builds up in front of the doors..the crabs can't open them.. But yeah Bro.. your pot is Upside Down my man.

    Looks like 2 of the crabs were caught by the dopey sun stars. Shame really...
