Everyone, I doubt anyone actually runs down crab pots intentionally when they are equipped with line cutters, but, I wanted to point out cutting a crab line is a very bad thing to do. First, and least important, the owner of the crab pot just lost his gear. Secondly, and most importantly, a crab pot not attended to begins a killing cycle that never ends. Crabs that are in the pot die and attract more crabs to eat the dead ones, who also get trapped, die, etc.. -Matt M/V Distinctively Lost
