This 12 lb lobster was caught on Saturday on the Big Jamaica out of Brielle NJ . I have caught a few while bottom fishing over the years , but never that big ! Wow !

Mikey, anyway to set-up a lobster trip ??? I'd rather have a cooler full of those bugs than of Seabass !!!

Maybe that was the one that was just released by some restaurant in NY after PETA got on their case...That lobster could be over 100 years old! That's gonna need about a whole stick of butter. :clapping2:

That would be a kick wudn't it. Just like when PETA released all the lab bunnies and the hawks swooped down and grabbed 'em

That released lobster prolly had a king size appetite for seabass bait

Melt the butter lets crack that thorax

That is a huge bug :thumbup: - WOW. Most likely too large to get into a trap.

I know most party boat pools do not allow lobsters to enter - that one would win hands down .

The pool winning bass was around 7lbs

I was on that boat sat. When it was caught, and yes it did not when the pool. That thing was even bigger in person.also a monk fish was caught a little earlier in the day.

There used to be a lobster fishery operating out of Norfolk. They would set their pots off shore in 600 feet of water off the Va. coast.
I bought lobsters from them in the mid 70s
I think the outfit was owned by the "Rev Moon".
Don't know if they are still operating but I'll bet the lobsters are there.

RIP Pinchy
I wonder if Peta is gonna call them sea puppies

 

[rgminer]

I thought once they got that big they were past their prime and tasted bad?

Only one way to find out, pass the butter....

 

[flattyfrank]
