When we caught up with crab fisherman Brand Little a few months back, he was unloading an unusual late spring catch. Unusual, because the season has been essentially cut short for the last several years, to protect migrating whales and sea turtles from being entangled in the vertical ropes that float above the crab traps. But this load was caught with a different kind of device, known as a rope-less or pop-up trap.
