"Rocky", the 27-pound Maine lobster

BOOTHBAY HARBOR — A giant 27-pound lobster has been caught off the Maine coast, but it won't be going into a pot of boiling water.
shrimp fisherman Robert Malone caught the monster crustacean in his nets Friday. He gave it to the Department of Marine Resources to deliver to the aquarium it operates in Boothbay Harbor.

The beast weighs 27 pounds and measures nearly 40 inches long. It was dubbed Rocky because it was caught in the Rockland area.

The lobster is the biggest ever brought to the aquarium and huge compared to 1- to 2-pound lobsters people typically eat. The biggest lobster on record was caught off Nova Scotia and weighed more than 40 pounds.

Hayden-Rodriquez says Rocky will soon be released into the ocean because he'll fare better in the wild.

I have relatives in Maine who claim to be able to hypnotize lobsters. I've never seen it; don't ask me wtf they're talking about.

You're an asshole. It's already bad enough that you want to eat him, you don't have to degrade him first.

even worse, red lobster used to pay slave wages for free-divers in south america and perhaps elsewhere to catch their lobsters. those divers often suffered the bends and serious injury with no recompense.

i don't think red lobster does that shit anymore, busted like some sweat shops, but i wouldn't spend a penny there.
i am lucky to get plenty of live local lobsters here.

Cook led a ceremony ahead of the liberation that included prayers, mantras and walking the 13 boxes of lobsters in circles around a display of blessed objects.

These important steps develop a karmic connection for the animals' future lifetimes and help ease future suffering, she said.

Only religion makes otherwise rational people do asinine things.

Red Lobster? My God . . . I had no idea you were a Negro! Now that I do, would you please explain why some of your people pronounce "fish" as "FISK"?

"Gimme sum dats catfisks!"
