I saw that one TV recently. That's pretty amazing.

It's worth noting that the "Bled" crabs are released a LONG way from where the crabs are harvested so that doubles aren't likely. I think they recover much better and quicker than the article tends to indicate. As always take what you read with a grain (or two) of salt because it's hard for the writer to not interject some of their own feelings and notions into an article.
