Had not posted up many bug reports lately so here it is. Have been alot of hoopin, just have not been putting up too many reports as I am lazy. LOL
Met up at the launch 5pm and I see my ole buddy Pete's van and trailer. If you are reading this Pete, give us a call we miss ya buddy! Got to the spot and dropped hoops, definately a slow night as quatity was not there but quality was. Ended the night with 12 bugs, 1 8 pounder and 3 6-7 pounders. Packed it up at 9pm and got in with some thick fog. Dogged it at 3 mph and got in safely. Crap...

:appl: You guys did alright!
What's the deal with cooking them? I hear that you have to kill them a certain way or the meat will be poisoned.

Have no idea but I cut them in to small chunks and fry them in corn starch or I cut them in half and bake them with butter on top open faced so that the butter melts in to the meat. My nuts are stil intact and not fallen yet so I think we are ok. LOL

Awesome as usual brother Duc..
Those are some PIG BUGS,, You have been slaying them this year.. Lots of work and time on the water is paying off.. Keep at it man..
Ya, release them man.
I have a release pen set up for you or anyone that is interested in releasing any legals they catch...
They must be released properly via my BBQ and chummed back into the sea. :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: :lol:

Congradulations on a good night of bugging! :banana:
BUT!!!!! :soapbox: :soapbox: :soapbox:
Those big girls lay Significantly more eggs than the smaller bugs. Many scientist believe they are needed to maintain a health lobster fishery. On the east coast where commercial lobstering is a major industry it is illegal to keep the big girls.

Damn that huge lobster looks so damn good. Makes me hungry just looking at it. I am going to try to bake the large one that I got. What do you use to cut them in half? Electric knife of just a sharp knife down the back? 350 degree oven for how long?
thanks,
Edwin

Greg, although it looks as though he is about to attempt to breed with the bug in question, it is impossible to tell without looking at the underside of the tail whether or not it is male or female.
