A 27-pound lobster? Robert Malone went fishing for shrimp and pulled in a surprise: a 27-pound Maine lobster that could never be viewed as shrimpy.
The critter, caught in the vicinity of Rockland, Maine, was dubbed Rocky, reports the Associated Press. Of course, the size of the lobster’s fearsome claws also bring to mind the meaty fists of that boxer named Balboa.
Really big, really old, and totally nasty to eat, so good that it’s going to be studied.
Neat story!
Damn, that sucker could take of a limb. Yeah, real nasty that size. He’ll live the rest of his life being hand fed in an aquarium somewhere.
How much bigger can they get?
Not a ton bigger. Even in captivity once they get that big they’re well over the hill.
