How to catch a crab
It made me

"My grandfather and I would throw traps off the back of a boat in the Chesapeake Bay for blue crabs."
How I did it: My grandfather bought a boat when we were kids and took us out into the bay to catch crabs. We tossed traps off the back of the boat in places likely to find crabs. The traps were simple cages that the crabs could crawl into but not out of, with a piece of chicken bait inside to lure them in. In a few hours, we'd return, looking for the empty, floating plastic milk cartons to which the traps were tied. We'd reel the line in, and if there were crabs in the basket, we'd put them (alive) in a cooler to take back to shore for a big crab dinner.
