This is a Rock crab we get 0.35 cents a lbs for them . They bite real hard and do not let go very often . My first time getting bit was awful I did not have gloves on and ended up with with both thumbs being bit at the same time . The two older guys I was with were laughing so hard they had tears in their eyes . Eventually one of them helped out of my  predicament . My thumbs throb for the rest of the day and I learned to handle the rock crab with care .
