Just need about 2 pounds of butter.

Damn! Now those are some claws worth cracking!

[vanhalen5150]

This one had his claw stuck inside the trap trying to get the bait out when they pulled him up. Too big to get all the way in.

From what I know they just took this pic and put him back in the water. I guess if your smart enough to get that big, you deserve to go back.

Its a Baltan, call Ultraman

Here's a 12.5 pounder. Or as we call them...Turkeys.

That-a-be a mighty lobstah feed,yessir bud.

I ate so much lobster as a kid I can't stand the stuff anymore. We use to take the empty claw shells and wear them like red Vulcan ears.
This area has a tidal range of 30 feet every day. At low tide you can walk out to about knee high water, set a trap on the bottom. Wait for the tide to raise and drop again over 12 hours and the trap is full of the buggers. "Lobstah"

OK, I'll trade you a couple warmoth strat project bodies for a dozen live bugs!

I'm with Phil. And here in South Louisiana we have crawfish...I have to eat hundreds of 'em to equal one of those lobster claws!

[Strat78]

1 1/2lbs lobsters that is.
As a kid I spent many a summer day filling buckets with crayfish (crawdads) at of all places Lake Tahoe. As with Dunginous crab or blue crabs, periwinkles or crawdads, it is so much work getting at the meat, its hard to get too satiated for life.

Must have eaten a lot of Krabby Patties

Season starts late November here. Usually the first few weeks every kid has lobster sandwiches in the school lunch box. Basically chopped butter fried lobster meat. mayo and homemade bread. By the end of the week your searching out the kids with peanut butter to trade with or threaten to beat them ("Word on the playground is you got P@J today Billy, here's how it's gonna go...")

Then you get home and it's seafood chowder for dinner.

And those claws...the "crusher" claw is on the right. Your hand goes in that, you guitar days are over.

Not only that, lobsters that old don't taste that good. Would have made a big meal, but not a good one.
