    Nice Crab

    Ever seen a crab like this? I got caught up on someone's old line fishing on bottom. This little guy was tangled in that line.

    It's a calico box crab.
    A beautiful species!

    Cool, hope you were able to untangle him.
    This is just on example of why lost fishing line is such a problem for critters.
