How to Measure a California Spiny Lobster

I noticed there wasn't any good how-to lobster measuring videos on youtube, so I made my own. It's common knowledge for anyone that's dove for lobsters, but I bet it'll help at least one newbie sometime in the future.

You still have that thing alive???:

Well not anymore I ate him last Friday. Shot this video the same day.

He stayed alive for a surprisingly long time. Almost 9 days out of the ocean.

Funny vid. I must admit I was feeling sympathetic for him. I don't know how you manage to catch them in the ocean if you have so much trouble grabbing him in the cooler

Gloves make a big difference

But yah I can understand the sympathetic feeling. This bug was alive and kicking all the way. Unfortunately for the lobster my desire to eat him outweighed my desire to free him.
