John, pretty funny but tonight my son and I went down to my dock. Were catching our usual assortment of wildlife when I spot 2 Blue crabs. So I scoop them up and realize its 1 crab that just molted its shell. I had visions of "fried soft shell blue crab on toasted bread" but this crab was hurtin'. It was alive but wouldn't move when out of the water. I wasn't sure if he was half dead or is this normal for soft shells. When I put him back in, he swam off slowly.
