After watching ful-rac's and greg andrew's excellent videos on hoop'n for crabs, I decided to try to target one of those monster crabs.
After seeing that the really large Spider Crabs don't have to get inside of the conical nets because their claws are long enough to just hang on the top ring and reach inside, I decided to give the flat nets a try.
... It worked!!!
This was a male
It looks like the smaller spider crabs are females
