when i was in San Quintin (down in baja) i was surf-fishing and caught a HUMUNGOUS sand crab, it ACTUALLY had claws and was about the size of a grown man's palm! Kept it showed a bunch of people... tried using it for bait but it ended up flying off the hook on the way out to the ocean. haha.

Surf fishing is the BOMB! especially when u REALLY get into the fish i mean: every cast you make you catch one. Its a BLAST. just follow the tides i fish: 1 hour before hightide, 1 hour after. so its usually a good 3 hours of solid fishing. MMMMMM i love it. AND THEY TASTE AMAZING.
