fishing for Dungeness Crab

The early morning of Christmas Eve day is the time to catch some crab for our traditional Christmas Eve Dinner. Freshly cooked Dungeness crab on Christmas Eve has been our family's traditional dinner for over 40 years........... and this year grandchildren Francesca and Jean-Luc will help me catch and cook the crab ....Francesca and Jean-Luc believe in Santa Claus and they also believe Dungeness crab live in green plastic buckets in Grandpa's back yard....... lets go fishing.

"Let's find a good fishing spot Jean-Luc"

"I can see them Sister! big ones"
