These little suckers have some power in their jaws!!!!! I wanted to rip his tail off right there and eat it raw I was so pissed. Didn’t break skin but man it wasn’t pretty. So I measure him....about 30 times...with TWO DIFFERENT GAUGES! He just makes it and I now know which the first bug I am going to eat is.

That reminded me of something that I saw on Spearboard a while ago.

This guy had an 8lb lobster take off the tip of his pinky finger.

Seriously, thanks again Doug. All these years pulling bugs out of trenches while diving at night, I had no idea. I've never been one to look on the spearboards, or ever had a chance with an eight pound bug, but this info will come in handy if I get that chance. Don't worry Doug, I'm not looking for a new BFF, but I sometimes feel I owe you something for all the great info. That submersible VHF with internal GPS and distress beacon that automatically transmits your position is awesome!

Sorry for the threadjack, BT .

When i saw that thread reappear on Spearboard I wondered how long it would take to get posted here.

After that bug had my finger in his mouth I woldnt doubt it. Especially since that was only a 2 lber and the amount of force that he put on my finger was crazy! That was the last bug of my night, so I will see how much of a girl I act like the next time I go to measure a bug!
