as well. And >> I can request the body cam because I just found one out of 20 that was legal. >> Sure. Yeah, absolutely. That's all for you. It's all available for you to request. You're measuring body cam. It's touching right now. >> You're measuring at an angle. >> If you like fish and wildlife content, be sure to subscribe so you don't miss out on future videos. A Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife officer responded to a tip claiming commercially harvested dungeonous crab were being delivered under size. Yeah. I mean, if >> they need all seven to be pulled out, >> if you could pull out two two of them, I can drain them and go through in a little more detail. >> That'd be helpful if that's easier for you guys. Um, and then if it's stop one of the drivers, have come over here and drain it or I can >> Okay. Yeah, that that'd be great. Sorry to bug you. So, it's uh April 4th. in here. Ocean Gold. Um just checking through the Stormy Bees offload and you can see I've got um got seven crab here. These are just crab that I pulled off the top that were pretty short. Um still fresh way under size for the gauge the caliber measurement. So, um, we've got about seven totes from here back. This is the tote that all these were pulled from. Um, this is just from one tote. So, just got a hold of the dock manager and we're going to work on separating this out so we can uh so we can go through it in a little more detail. But, just want to document all these crab being short, very lively, obviously, still fresh. So under Guys, other size. >> What's that? >> He's coming to pull them all out and drain them for you. >> Okay. Thank you. We're sorry to sorry to throw your guys' day off. >> First one I grabbed. Second one I grabbed. Get them all out now so they don't get buried again. >> Oh, that works. All right. >> They're all out over here waiting for you. >> Yeah. I mean, I just pulled three and they were all short. So, it's it's not looking good so far. >> Anything that's good, if you want, you can toss it here. >> Okay. >> Put it back in. That way. >> Perfect. Yeah, sounds good. >> Yeah. Yep. [laughter] No bueno. How many? >> Uh, we're up to like 10 10 or so. Yeah. You can just see him sit. >> Yeah. >> I see you pulling out. It's like >> Yeah. I'd have been happy with that one. >> Aaron. >> Yeah. >> At least not with commercial. >> Yeah. >> I'd love to have cover sports. >> Yeah, I know, right? They're great on the sport level, but Uhoh. Just finished the first tote from the stormy bee. Um, I'm here by myself, so I'm just documenting it for reference, but throw the weight in here. Um, so our total, these are all legalized crab. This is the tote they came from, 367 lbs. Um, and then this is our our undersized bucket. Um, so first tote, as you can see, we've got um one, two, three, four, five, six, seven. Seven totes in total. Um going to go through swap the tags on these and um consolidate all of our unders sized here. How often is it? Not much. Not much. most harder and then occasionally >> this tag. Uh I couldn't find a little spot to >> Oh, okay. Yeah. >> What's that? >> Oh, I don't know. >> You got >> uh just these two. >> So, I'll push this tote over and then we can finish lines in sight. We're on to the last tote. This is our undersized bin. Crawled out tote. >> No, that's undersized. All right. So, we've been measuring this load here, everything you can see, and we're going to go back through this tote of short crab here just to confirm. >> You want to do the >> shorts? Okay. >> Shorts, leak, you know, legal. We're going to get back to the fisherman over there. This is a very egregious short crab case. So, we're just going back through since we've had to go through so many crab and check our work. Let's keep track of how many animals, too. 1 2 by 10. So, 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13. >> I've got a clicker in my truck. If you want, I can click them as we go. can run and grab it. >> 15 16 18 20 Hold on a second. You take 10. I'll take 10. We got here. >> Can we do it by tens and we'll just we'll just raise our hand. So you keep track of 10 from now on. We got 20 so far. Every time you get 10 check mark, >> that's okay. >> That's 10. Okay. 10. 10. Take the box. Those are total 500 on the top. 500 500 crab to back them. >> Yeah, that's going to be a whole different process. >> All right, I already got back. >> You want to get these way real fast? >> You this tote. Get this one out of the way. Close it. It is a best fish. >> I'm just rolling for the weight. >> Let me get it on the scale. >> That's a big one. >> It's a lot of >> not have 500 individual shortcuts. >> No. No. Before you open this, >> you want to take a picture of it. >> Yep. >> Is that uh excluding the tote weight? >> Okay. All right. I'm officer comra with fish wildlife. Um just you know I got a body cam going. So um >> did an inspection of your offflow today and we've got quite a bit under size. So >> we're going through process and everything. Um I got a grab ID for you. >> Um >> you want my ID? >> Yeah. Yeah. It's >> in the truck. Okay. >> Be right back. >> Okay. >> Are you with the boat also? >> Yeah. >> Okay. What's your role? and >> lots can hand. Okay. >> Yeah, I I've measured a little bit of crap. >> Okay. >> Big. >> Okay. All right. I got a grab ID from you as well. >> I don't have >> It's all right. Uh what's your first name? >> Joshua. >> Mind if I take a picture of you? I just got to verify when I get back to my truck. Okay. Okay. Well, that's all I need from you. >> What did you I mean, how many did you find? >> So, about 700 lb. >> Really? >> Yeah. >> 700. >> Mhm. >> Three of us out here checking them. >> 500 crab in total of under size. And we went there some on the line, but we threw them back in. So then, >> so Eric was telling me that I mean somebody told you to come check these. >> I came in to do an inspection. I was going through totes and >> yeah, >> I I was on top looking through totes and off the top I saw I pulled seven smalls out right away. So >> Well, there's one. >> You don't mind? I'll do it. >> Yep. So then, but before that, did somebody tell you to come check me? >> I I came down here to do an inspection and I found your >> Yeah. >> Right. Right. But be cuz Eric Rydman was telling me that >> that somebody tipped you off to come check my crap. >> I came down here to do an inspection. So there's that for you. Is your Is your mailing address correct on here or where do you get mail at? Not >> there. I'll give you my mailing address. >> Okay. So then, >> but did somebody tell you to come check my crab? >> All I'm going to tell you is I came down here to Ocean Gold to do an inspection. I checked several other totes and upon checking your tote, the first one I checked had seven undersized crab right on top. So >> And I s I threw like none of these in. >> Okay. >> You know what I'm saying? I don't know if you know how it goes on a boat. >> Yeah, I do. >> I'm in the wheelhouse. >> Okay. Okay. >> Um this is rather unfortunate. >> Yeah. tonight. So, we are going to get a ticket. >> Yes. Yes. >> That's almost certain at this point. >> What's a mailing address for you? Uh I need to identify the rest of your crew members, too. Do you have contact information for them or >> I'll get to that. He's one of them. >> Yeah. I grabbed this stuff already. >> I'm going to roll through a few of these. >> Okay. Yeah, feel free. We've got to do our part getting them into evidence uh in the bags, but you're more than welcome to view as well. You can go through and >> check all these if you'd like. See if you can find one. >> Like I said, I do have a body cam going. >> I'm good with that. >> Okay. >> There we go. Right there. >> Okay. >> Well, looks like we got the same measure. This is a brand new measure that I Hey, if it's stuck, if it's stuck, it's stuck. >> So, I'll I'll tell you our process for for all this. So, we went through the your entire offload. We separate the small ones um into their own tote and then >> uh after that, we went through as a group, went through the crabs again. Um we're backing them. These are getting processed and then we retain all the shells for evidence. So, >> even that one, >> what's that? Even Well, let's put that aside and I'll keep that. >> I didn't say I was going to throw it back in the tote. I just I just got it. >> Josh, fine. You got one there. >> If it's short, it's short. That's the problem. >> Oh, thank you. >> Well, definitely. But I just found one that wasn't that. So, means I'm getting a ticket. >> My job. >> Yeah. No, you have your You get your You get your due diligence. We're not saying no. No problem. >> And what are you guys going to do with these shells? >> They will go in our evidence. >> We need to go through all of them. >> You're probably going to have to request that at trial. >> But there we have these shells right here as well. >> And I can request the body cam because I just found one out of 20 that was legal. >> Sure. Yeah, absolutely. That's all for you. It's all available for you to request. >> Yeah. And this is an unfortunate incident. >> It's It certainly is. It's $5,000 worth of undersized crab. So, it's definitely >> How about this right there? I'm hitting on this. >> Okay. >> This is a brand new one. I keep a new one in the, you know, if you measure 10,000 crab, the aluminum gets worn out. >> Okay. >> Just saying. >> Okay. >> When was the last time you calibrated your measure? >> Every time I go in to do an inspection, I check it with the docks. So, I check it very consistently. >> Okay. The attorney is going to be all over that one. >> Okay. >> Here's another one. >> All right. >> So, where am I putting the ones? >> Well, we're going to check them if you find one that you'd like to contest. Right here. >> Two. >> Okay. If you'd like, I'll just stop putting them in the bag. >> Right here. >> Yeah. >> Hey, can I get another tote or something? I can put these in. >> Well, you won't be able to take them. >> We can set them aside. We can test them if you want to test one. >> If there's any that you'd like, we can put them in this toe right over here. >> Which one? >> This one over here. >> Oh, okay. So, you want me to measure them and pitch them in there? How many are there? >> You I don't You don't have to do anything. >> What's that? >> I said I'm done. >> Okay. Like I said, we need to get this processed into evidence. We're not going to stay here the whole time for you to measure every single one. >> Right here. >> You can do that in court if you'd like. >> They going to haul these in. >> What's that? >> They're all going to go and you can contest them in court. >> There's another one. That one right there. Hey. And they're not going to go from here to here unless we check them as well. >> Whoa. >> Okay. >> You're telling me I don't have the right to check them? >> You do at trial. Yes. But >> I see >> right there. There's illegal. >> So, >> right. >> They should have been checked on the boat before they went on the boat before they landed. Correct. >> You pulled them out of the tote. >> I understand that. But that's what I'm asking. You did your job. >> I understand that. But your job was to get or your guys your job. Your guy's job was to check them at sea. Correct. >> Well, that's fine. But being I'm getting a ticket, we're going to go right through them and check. >> This is not This is not legal crap. >> Well, by your measure, this is a brand new measure. >> Okay. >> You know what I'm saying? >> Would you like to compare gauges or >> That's not Is that the one I >> He just pulled that one off the boat. Off the dock that you did. [clears throat] put them right there. >> Okay. So, we >> I'm telling you, we have >> Where can I put them? >> The ones that are legal. Where can I put them? >> That one legal? >> They're putting legal crap in the leg. Let me see that. >> They have all been measured. Ours, >> mine, his, and our captains. They've all been measured. We triple witnessed them. >> Oh, we're gonna quadruple them. >> I mean, that one's >> Okay, >> those are already been through. These are the ones that are hitting. >> So, this is Listen here. This is the last time I'm going to tell you this. We have a process for measuring these crab. If you'd like to contest them, you can do that in court. >> So, where do I get the ones that aren't right? What you're doing right now is you are intermingling our process here and it's affecting how we're going to log these into evidence. >> Those crab are legal right there. >> What's that? >> Those crab are legal. >> These are ones that you just threw right here, >> right? Cuz they hit. They're legal on the measure. >> Well, we have checked them three times now. >> I'm for you to come in and say that they're legal on your first check. I need to verify that. >> They dry out. They shrink until >> So when I pulled them out of the tote, they were on water. I mean, they were live. So, >> hey, I'm going. Where do you want? Hey, you stop right there. That's >> these. You just They are my evidence, sir. >> You stop right there. These you measure. >> Where do you want me to put the ones that are hitting on my >> If you have ones that you would like to contest, >> put them right there in the corner. I'll double check them. >> There was two right there. I >> put I put them in there. Well, >> this one has the barnacle right here. >> Barnacles matter. No >> barnacles get there a growth on the craft part of the shell. >> Every all the ones that you're putting in here are under size >> right here. This one. Look at the touches. >> No, these are not touching. Can I see your gauge, please? >> This is a brand new one. >> Okay. Well, let me just check. >> Yours is worn out. You got to have a professional mic on that. >> Yeah, I'll take a photo, too. But they're >> Hey, no. Just cuz it looks close don't mean anything. >> Okay. All right. >> This one's touching. What do you want me to do with the ones I'm contesting? >> I've already told you two or three times. If you want to put them in that corner, >> keep taking them out >> because they're not they're undersized by my measure. By my caliper measure. So, I'm going to take a photo >> showing that these fine. >> I mean, are these not the same? >> They're not exactly the same, though. >> Okay. >> They are not. >> To me, they look to me to me, they look dead on. I would hang on to this if you want to contest it in court. >> Even a 5,000 out is not >> We can put it on a micrometer in court. >> Absolutely. >> If that's what you would like to >> and they can micrometer every single one of these in court. >> Hey, that's touching >> again. Here >> they're going in evidence. >> There's a gauge. >> Your gauge is right here. >> Right there. That's touch it. >> If you'd like to contest it, contest it in court. Please put it in the corner. I'll give you the courtesy of measuring. >> You told me to put them in there and then you taken them from me. They're unders sized. I'm telling you, we've measured these three times. >> We measured them in the We measured. They were in the totes. We measured them and put them in here when they were short and then we went through them again. >> He just told me to put the ones I want to contest in >> and he reme-measured every single one of them that you put in the tote and they were short. >> This one's coaching, dude. Right there. is you can contest it. How many times has he measured all this? >> What we're telling you is you can contest it in court. You can bring a micrometer to court and measure it. >> Are you telling me that this is all there? This is not the place to argue this. I'm I'm telling you right now, this is not the place to to argue your case. >> Right there. >> You're not measuring in front of the tips. You're measuring >> talking about your body cam. It's touching right. >> You're measuring at an angle. You're not measuring at the widest part out or most tips. Hey, that hits right there. That's legal. Yeah, take it from me. All right, we're done here. Hey, >> I need to identify the rest of your crew. >> Hey, that is a legal crab and you know it. Yeah, you are wrong. You too there. >> What's that, sir? >> You heard me. >> Fish and wildlife. >> You just took a legal crab and put it >> was not legal size. Sir, >> are you going to look at me and tell me that there's a lot of shorts here? Are you going to look at me and tell me that wasn't even >> There are a lot of shorts. Yes. >> Hey, are you going to look at 500 shorts? To be honest with you, >> look at me and tell me that that didn't hit. >> It was unders sized. >> It hit on your measure. >> No, it did not. >> Yes, it did. I watched you at the widest part of the outermost tips just in front of it. It was undersized. By our state law definition, it's undersized. >> Wrong. Okay. You're more than welcome to contest it in court. This is not the place to do it, though. >> Where is the place in court? >> In court. I just told you. >> Do you think they're going to drag all these stinky shells in there? >> Sure. Yes, sir. >> That's why we keep it all. That's why we've spent hours here. Um, >> backing every single >> backing, documenting everything. >> Our body cams were on when we rememeasured them before they were back. And for every one you find, how many undersized ones are you throwing to the side? Way too many. That's >> Well, that's not the point. The point is I'm trying to make you guys are making mistakes. That's the point I'm making. >> Across the board, how many how many un size are you allowed to have on your boat? >> Exactly. So, why did we get you guys? You are making mistakes. That's the point I'm making. >> You are not 100% right. >> That is totally fine with you, sir. The bike hands are on and we have told you [laughter] there's a contestant. >> The point I'm making is you are making mistakes. Even the legal crab that I pointed out, you're taking and putting away in the evidence. >> And they will be in evidence and they will be in court if you need them. Make sure when you come to court that you bring that specific scale with you so that they can micrometer that one too. >> Absolutely. >> This is my last bag. Do you have some extra ones? I got some go. >> What's that? You good? >> Yeah. Cool. Thank you. We found a couple of illegal that they took them from us. And somebody tiff you off to come check my crab. >> I've told you three or four times now. I came here to do an inspection at Ocean Gold cuz there is a mountain. >> That's not what I'm asking. >> There's a mountain of totes over there. I did an inspection of your tote and I found seven undersized crab. It's all documented on body cam. >> My question was, did somebody tell you or notify you? >> I'm I'm telling you. I did a normal inspection as part of my duty. >> I know. But did somebody tell you that? >> I've already told you. Yes or no? >> I've already told you. I came here to do an inspection. >> Did somebody It's yes or no. >> You if you'd like to ask that in court, go ahead. >> You know, cuz if somebody did, then you can tell me. I don't know why you won't say yes or no. Yes or no? Did somebody notify you to come check my inventory? >> I do not have to provide you that information. I told you that this is the fifth time I've told you. >> Oh, it's the sixth time. >> Okay. >> I would really be worried about the fact that you're >> you guys are both measuring quite a few of these crab and finding so many undersiz. So, >> we're still finding them, though. >> All of them that I checked that you set aside were under size. >> You're wrong. >> Okay. >> We're still finding. You made a mistake. >> Okay. >> That's all I need. Thank you. >> I need to identify your crew members. >> Yeah. Sir, I need to identify all of your crew members. >> Are you not going to provide their information? >> I will not >> What's that? >> Hender my leaving. >> What's that? >> You will not hinder me. >> I didn't say I was going to hinder you, but I want to know why you're not identifying your crew members. I'm requesting that you identify them. >> Just like you told me over there. It's a female. >> Okay. No, it's okay. I just wanted to let I I know I want to identify his crew, but I'm not going to, you know, he's okay. Okay. Gotcha. He came in here and he was pretty spun up, so at at us. He was going through and trying to argue that his that they were that they were touching, but he was holding the gauge not against the tips. And so, yeah, it's silly. All right. Thank you. Well, my captain was like, "Dad, can you spread that out between four or five places?" And I'm like, "I am not going to run [laughter] here, there, do a donation form everywhere." I'm like, "Oh, man. >> I think Coastal Harvest distributes to multiple food banks." So, >> we do and Hopeland's open tomorrow. So, >> I said they're not getting the whole load for themselves. It's going to get moved. Oh, this for you. That's for the product. >> Okay. >> All right. Well, thank you very much. equal distribution of of that instead of just giving one entity >> 395 lbs. >> Wow. >> So, um, >> yes, we will definitely get it out to everybody. >> It'll get moved around. So, that's perfect. >> Yeah. >> All right. Thank you. >> Yes. Thank you. >> According to reports, the final count was 500 crab totaling 714 lbs, approximately 18% of the vessel's total offload. The total value of the seized crab was over $5,000. We are still attempting to obtain court records, but each crab can be considered a gross misdemeanor violation with a maximum fine of $5,000 and a year in jail. The case could have also been classified as a class C felony as the total value is over $250. At the time of the violation, commercial crab prices were the highest they had been in years.
