Looks like a DD. Good thing u threw it back. Big ones like that dont taste as good. Must have been fun catching it.

[Frenchy]

pic in gargage and you let it go doesnt seem to be adding up there

[cjmedina]

wow that thing is huge

[dixoncider]

I let it go in good conditon..It lives another day.

[DccFISHerMan]

So it lives in ur garage?

[dixoncider]

Yes I have a big tank in there. I take him for walks everyday. He is very happy.

[fisherman from long beach]

Thats pretty cool man, you should go on "pet star" with Mario Lopez.

[BIG0FISH]

another funny *** thread!!!
i let him go meant you threw him in the big tank?
to live another day meant you will eat him the day after?
i take him for walks everyday is incorrect. that one day he lived you actually leashed him and dragged that huge thing into your kitchen?
nice catch anyways!!!!

[dixoncider]

THose big ones have eaten alot of turds in there day..think I will pass.. He was returned to the sea..My guess is about 12 pounds..

[YakN'Surf]

lol, Im so confused! So you actually brought it home for a picture.....and then turned around and brought it back?

Lmao! You just said what he was trying to say for us.

Anyways, that lobster is HUGE!! I want to go lobster fishing sometime. :Cool:

[dixoncider]

That picture is not that far from the water. catch/cooler with saltwater/picture/back to water. Not sure why it's hard to believe I let it go. About 5 years ago I got one that was a few inches bigger. I cooked and ate that one. It's not easy cooking the large lobsters. Who know what they have been eating over the 100years or so of life..

I got this one the other day. I took it home, took a pic of if in front of the boat and then forgot where I got it from and then released it back in to Lake Cachuma...

[PWBUILDING]

[ahhvtec]

If you'd notice they are all males...

[ahhvtec]

wtf? Buwahahahaha!

[kanco]

Yes I noticed that the tires on the bug that I got were kind of worned out...maybe we should all buy some used tires for these bugs!

sorry i dunno how to tell the difference. :Secret:

[ssericz]

ya they are... but still all large bugs should be released it pisses me off to see people kill big breeders... Mine went to the aquarium to help with aquaculturing them and reintroducing them into the wild like hubbs and white sea bass...

[BIGRED KILLA]

Mmmm Bugs and fresh pink tuna.




Bigred

[dixoncider]

I agree with letting the big ones go... I told him not to hang out with that crowd in the last picture.. Not sure if he is safe....

[duytran]

Here now you can

Well here you go, hope it calms you down a bit now. Big females should go back and it is a good thing as they carry thousands of eggs but as for the males IMO, even the smallest males can fertilize egg carrying females. Very nice of you to have donated your bug to the aquarium so you get an attaboy. Check it.

Also for anyone to say that the big ones taste like ***, they're out of their mind...

[duytran]

Waaahhh wahhh wahh

[JimmyFSU]

Here now you can

Also females have larger tails and the last two legs are forked so that they can tend to their eggs. Male's last two legs are pointed.
