6:19 am
the best years in a long time. what can we expect this year? >> this year, we are actually expecting to see less crab. that's part of the natural cycle of the crab. it runs in 4- to 7-year patterns of peaks and valleys. last year we were expecting it to go down and ended up with a record season. but i think we'll see less crab this year but still quite a bit. the good news is the quality is just spectacular. people buying crab will see some really nice product. >> they look delicious. you had some pricing issues last year but not so much this year. what can we expect to pay at the store? >> reporter: well, i think the prices will probably be anywhere from depending on the stores if they are doing price leaders or not anywhere from $5.99 up to $8.99 a pound.
6:20 am
>> how soon can we expect the fresh crab to hit the market? >> i think a lot of this will depend on just the supply. if there's a lot of crab, then obviously, the stores are going to be anxious to move them. and the price will be lower. if there's not many, the price will likely be higher. it's traditional supply and demand. >> bring it on, ze ke, thank you. >> you're welcome. thank you. suspended miami dolphins player richie incognito accused of bullying his teammate says it all came from a place of love. the steps he is taking to get back on the field and recoup the money he on the sidelines. >> and i'm dennis o'donnell. coming up, don't go anywhere. we have two incredible finishes one for the warriors, one for the sharks. see them in a moment. ,,
