You can rip off & keep just the tails if you want your run in with DFW to be really unpleasant. Determining legal size is done by measuring the carapace. Keeping just the tail would eliminate your ability to demonstrate that they are legal size.
You can keep them in a mesh dive bag, bait tank or let them crawl around topside or in your hull. Or just put them in a bucket. Dont keep them in water unless it is circulating. The waste buildup will not be good for their health or flavor
