Then there are the additional costs of fuel, bait and maintenance. Most fishermen work 12-hour days that typically begin before sunset.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"GetTheCook","offers":[{"title":"Colossal | 6 Claws","offer_id":44069747425512,"sku":"","price":250.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Jumbo | 8 Claws","offer_id":44069747458280,"sku":"","price":225.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large | 12 Claws","offer_id":44069747491048,"sku":"","price":165.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium | 20 Claws","offer_id":44069747523816,"sku":"","price":120.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0624\/2880\/7400\/products\/Claw-Comparison.jpg?v=1668292349","url":"https:\/\/gotthechef.com\/products\/florida-stone-crabs","provider":"Get The Cook by Meat N' Bone","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
