The deck boards are 6 inches wide. And those who know me know it was released back into the Redondo canyon.

With that being your biggest bug, you must have more pictures- I am sure we would all appreciate a few more pics.

Great Grandpa lobster will be dining out for years as he tells the youngsters of his topside adventure amongst the double-ended squids who really are air breathers as has long been the subject of conjecture and controversy.

Re: My Largest Lobster ...ever

Congrats on a beautiful Monster Bug. I just finished ready a very interesting book. The Secret Life of Lobsters. It is based on the East Coast Lobster but shares some great science and stories of the Maine Lobstermen. They talk about the huge impact these monster bugs have on egg production and the sustainability of the resource. Have a great weekend.

Cheers, Kadman
