WATCH: Crab-Vision in the Severn River

Thanks to the yellowish, underwater tint, and the relative hugeness of the crab, the video comes across slightly like a horror movie to the uninitiated.

Anyone who's been out crabbing in the Severn should peruse this YouTube clip using an underwater camera to catch a crab in a trap.

The clip was uploaded by Joe Hunter of Annapolis, and was taken with a GoPro high-definition camera mounted to a crab trap that was baited with chicken. Soon after the video starts, a blue crab wanders into frame, and the action begins.
