Are you sure they were Green crabs and not Calico or Lady crabs? The reason I ask is because green crabs are not indigenous to our waters. They've gotten here by hitchhiking rides in the bilges of boats coming from the orient (mostly). I have observed stripers pass over green crabs to instead eat a calico, and I have yet to actually find a real green crab in the belly of a bass. Not saying it's not the case, just that I think they like other inigenous crabs better than green crabs.
