Monster Maryland point

[arrow86]

My mom has been going crabbing with a friend the past few weekends on the Chester river and every time I kept telling her look for points while your out there if you get a chance .... she found a killer point the pic she sent me did this thing no justice at all it wasn’t until I saw it today I realized how huge it was especially for around here .... she ran back or to boat to grab her phone and when she walked back up found another one 4 feet from the first. I was happy for her it’s been a while since she’s found one and it’s a smoker.

Here’s the other one which was pretty nice too

That is awesome!

I have points from both grandfathers, my father, one grandmother, but my mom never found/looked for any.

Very nice!

Is your mom dipping soft crabs from shore?

Good for Mom and it's a big one too plus another. She will be looking harder now.

Nice finds...I'd say the big one is Starks...We find them up here in Maine...

That's quite a find. Congrats. There was a guy on another artifact forum from the Eastern Seaboard area that was finding large, stemmed points like that and he was calling them Mack points. I can find no documentation on that type so just for what it's worth. I was thinking Gary or Morrow Mountain.

I’m not familiar with Mack points either I was kinda leaning towards Morrow Mountain myself ... Gary is a little too far west to be found here but very similar characteristics

No , not from the shore they run a trot line but they take some breaks and go a shore ... drink a beer , relax... that type of crabbing lol

 

[smokeythecat]

Huge for sure. Here in Maryland we call most of them Morrow Mountain points.

lol .... yeah but she’s surely earned it ... 5 kids including me and we were all Hellions and my dad that went from a motorcycle gang being a Pagan to being a preacher .... true story , so I tell her do whatever makes you happy cause you have put 6 other people ahead of you for way too long so do you !

Trot-lining crabs is the most enjoyable and relaxing way to catch them. Trot-line crabs are also recognized by some of us as higher quality crabs than those caught in crab pots. Good for her!

Maybe you cab talk her out of it and let you have it

Based on that alone, I'd say she's eligible for sainthood!
