Bet you used 3 lbs of butter with that...

12 lbs. 9 oz. on a certified scale. And yes, I released him. (For comparison, I am 6'3" 215 lbs.)

SHEEEEEEEET

Next time, you can release him to me.

I will take great care of him. A nice warm steam bath, then a massage with drawn butter.

In addition to the lobstrosity, I had 5 5 pounders and a 2 pounder, so I didn't feel the need to eat the superbug.

Lobstilla!

Now fess up, which island is producing this season? San Nicholas as a legendary bug source is now, nothing but that, a legend.

Catalina always seems to be ok, San Clemente is legendary...for shorts.....Santa Barbara Island is so so...

So do tell! Enquiring minds want to know....

I got him on a beach dive, between Laguna and Ventura. The actual site is...'Top Secret Lobster Spot #27'

#27 darn my gps stops at #26. But anyway any bug over 5lbs starts to get tough. I prefer the just over legal two pounders. Plus your not eating the top producing lobster. I know a lot of guys would have kept it, I wouldn't have nor did you, so I must commend you. So how did you fit big boy and 5-5lbs and a 2lbs in a bag? Better question how did you stay pos. buoyant?

I was supposed to be going lobster hunting with my instructor and a few other guys, plus have a barbi on the beach (except that I don't eat lobster) but nothings been mentioned about that

When does lobster season finish??

The wing in my BC has 58 lbs. of lift. Plus, I used the big one as a DPV at the end; held his caripice, and he pull me back to the boat at about 4 kts.
(For those of you trembling with rightous indignation, that was a joke.)

Bug season ends in Cali the first Wednesday following the 15th of March.
