With some of the bug gangsters on this site I am super small potatoes but this is a my best bug and the first i caught by hand.
went 2.6lbs and was delicious. my buddy spotted him in a tire in 30 ft. the water was hazy and we had decided to try a new spot. no shootable fish were even seen in 2.5 hours of swimming.
this guy made the dive a success. I couldnt get my snare behind him and he was tucked into the tire with no real escape. I tried to tickle him out to loop him but after he showed me I had no chance of moving him I had to drop in from behind and just pin him to the floor...as he tried to back up into the tire i just kinda turned him and he just popped right free and I had him.
I am a terrible lobster catcher this might be my 15 th lifetime lobster and it was my first by hand
