Stone crabs are back!

Dennis Canfield, left, and his uncle, Albert Canfield, both of Naples return to the docks with the first catch of stone crab season at Kelly's Fish House in downtown Naples on Saturday evening. Sue Canfield, not pictured, Dennis Canfield's mother, said her son has been stone crabbing since he was seven years old, and now works with her brother, Albert Canfield, who has been stone crabbing for over 40 years. Sue Canfield said it's a family tradition for her to wait at the docks on the opening day of stone crab season and welcome home her son and brother after crabbing all day. Tristan Spinsk/Staff
