27-Pound Lobster 'Rocky' Caught

[ArkRescue]

"When you visit a lobster pound, your choice of lobster size is usually fairly limited. There are 1.5 pounders for the truly dainty, two and 2.5 pounders for normal folk, three and 3.5 pounders for high-rollers and maybe a $100 giant, weighing in at around 4.5 pounds, thrown in for good measure and for consumption by recent lottery winners. Crustaceans in this last category always looks comically big -- it seems impossible to imagine that a lobster could get much bigger. But an eye-popping recent catch by a Shrimp boat five miles off the coast of Rockland, Maine last Friday shows that lobsters really can get a lot bigger. Six times bigger!

The giant weighs in at a whopping 27 pounds and has been christened "Rocky." "

What the hell is your hard on for her? I'm sure she enjoys living rent free inside your head. Plenty of room and all.

You really are starting to be the ass of the forum, you do realize that don't you?
Great work on promoting your rescue, If I had money to donate I would rather burn it before it got into the hands of anyone associated with you.

Is it because Arky is better looking than you?

 

[ArkRescue]

Nope, big ones like that are tough and stringy

I bet that's also the case with people? Maybe that's why Jeffrey Dahmer went after mostly young people?

I know, that's a bad pun.

he would be goo dbut not as good as the smaller lobsters. The verry large lobsters tend to have much tougher meet.
