The crab-measuring panel can be used to visually and standardly measure various types and sizes of crabs. The first wall and the second wall can be used as a protective handle from the claws of crabs when measuring a crab with the crab-measuring panel. The base panel provides a platform for the bait that is placed inside the bait-cutting channel. The first plurality of segment cuts and the second plurality of segment cuts allow the user to cut the bait inside the bait cutting channel at an angle allowing the bait to spin when on a hook.

Brackets are mounted at equally spaced vertical intervals receive and secure curtain wall members installed from the top of the wall down. A kerf formed in the lower end of each wall member is received on a receiving and retaining member located at the distal end of the supporting member of each bracket. A kerf formed in the upper end of the wall member receives a locating and retaining member having a latch secured thereto. The wall member and the latch are then rotated towards the bracket until the latch engages with a locking member of the bracket, thereby securing the wall member in place.
