  1. 50 crabs
  2. There is no limit
  3. 10 gallons whole per person ✔

Why: FWC sets the blue crab limit by volume, not count. Each harvester may take 10 gallons of whole crabs a day, and there is no size limit.

Huh, didn't know that: In Florida, a boat rigged with a mechanical trap puller is treated as a commercial vessel.
