there's a guy on ausfish who's got a video up on that exact technique. f*ck that sticking my arm down a hole with a set of nasty claws

i think even with a chain mail boners glove on .

i would not stick my hand how a mud crab hole .

and what jeff said .

i think only islanders and aborigines can do that kind of stuff .

pretty sure if you're not using a tool such as a wire crab hook, and only your hand, it is perfectly legal.

if this isnt the case and only "islanders and aborigine's" can do this, best case of racial inequality iv ever seen.
