Crab bin

Jim made this crab bin today for the boat.  The way it works is -- they bring up a pot, tip it upside down and hit it on the back of the bin causing the crab to fall out of the pots into the bin.  Then they re-bait the pot and throw it back in.  Meanwhile a sorter sorts the good crab from the throwbacks.  The good crab ride a slide down to the holding bin.

The crab pot in the pic is smaller than the pots they will be using.  He used a cardboard cut out of the actual sized bin to "test" the crab bin.
