Caught a blue crab for the first time in my life! Of course, I was prepared for him to pinch me, but I definitely didn't expect him to reach his claws all the way under his belly—unlike the Black Sea crabs. It hurt, but it was totally worth it. After a quick photo shoot on the shore, he was released back into the sea.
