The second pic is of a well over legal size lobster that was indeed pulled up in a hoopnet in my inflatable dingy. Is it even possible to "hook" a lobster intentionally?

I wrote what I did because it didn't specify how the lobster was caught, as you can see I revised it once the info came out.

As far as getting lobster with hook and line, yes, it is possible. The next time you run into the DFG ask them how many people they have cited or arrested for catching lobster with a hook and line and you'll be very surprised.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program
