I asked DFW about just taking one of the claws and letting the crab go, like they do in Florida, but was told I had to bring the crab in and take the claws off on shore.
However, they didn't say I had to kill the crab, I figure if I keep the crabs alive, bring them to shore, take one claw, leaving one intact, I have fulfilled the requirements of the rule. There is nothing in the rules that say I have to take both claws or can't release them after that.
I could be mistaken on that though...
