Went out in serch of some bugs with some guys from BWE
Had a blast! Also was an amazing trip!
New personal Best on that monster bug, was only my 5th legal bug ever after 2 seasons of lobster, made a good dinner but he put up a huge fight to get out of the net.

Nice Job, that is a monster. How much does that thing weigh?

Wait a minute. . . that beach launch looks familiar. Is that baby beach in DP????

If so that monster bug is even more impressive. I've never caught anything more than a 3 5/16" carapace keeper there.

Way to go

Yep, thats the spot. Have been there over 2 dozen times total, second trip this year and now have 2 keepers last year and 4 so far this year. And dont know the weight. Kitchen scale maxes out at 6 lbs and it was heavier than that and bathroom scale is retarded because it said it weighs 2lbs which we all know is wrong so i dont know. 19 inches long and 4 inches across spine to spine on tail. Getting him out of the net he got my foot with his tail and i will now have a scar with 2 spots 4 inches across lol

99% of my bugs I catch at DP are 3 3/16" . Why are they almost always only 1 mm shy of legal?!
Nice job, danjor.

Idk why but they all are just shy of legal!!! Every trip i catch 100's of short lobsters there. First pull 3rd net had 23 yes 23 short lobsters all short by less than 1/4 inch but deff short, and every one was exact same size, i dont get why there not bigger but alteast its something to catch and think next year you will be mine lol
