Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 "Weighing an astonishing 56 pounds, which is more than three times the species’ average weight, the multicolored lobster triggered an intense bidding war and ultimately fetched $95,000." http://www.grindtv.com/outdoor/outposts/post/massive-multicolored-lobster-fetches-95000/ miwu 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 It would be sad if they did. Just think how long this guy had to have lived to get to this size. Desireenfh 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shrimpie Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Yeah, this guy is totally awesome - Either let him go back to his original home or to a national aquarium somewhere - please don't eat him. Soothing Shrimp 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 I vote aquarium. That way it is safe from predators. Shrimpie 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigori Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Hmmm. The asian in me wants to eat him LOL. It's very astonishing that he grew very big but three times more than the AVERAGE weight? If im not mistaken, lobsters are virtually immortal and only dies due to external disturbances. It maybe much better if they specifically say that three times more than the species average weight that is available in the market. Who knows, im not expert or anything but what if there's more of this guy in the wild? Nom nom nom nom Hahahaha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigori Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 But seriously, keep him away from me because I love lobsters Blue Crown Aquatic Trade 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 LOL I think H4N hit the nail on the head. The older the lobster is, the tougher the meat. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DETAquarium Posted November 11, 2014 Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Thats incredible! I wonder how old the lobster is... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Soothing Shrimp Posted November 11, 2014 Author Report Share Posted November 11, 2014 Well, George the lobster caught off the coast of Canada, weighed in at 20lb - leading experts to judge it has lived for 140 years. So me, using uneducated guessing, at the ratio of 1 lb per 7 years would estimate this lobster to be 392 years old.

Sbarbee54 Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Yeah from my southern ca lobster dives with professional fisherman they say the best liberators are the ones just hitting adult hood or a few years past. As they say the oldest bigger ones are tough and not as buttery Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
r45t4m4n Posted November 12, 2014 Report Share Posted November 12, 2014 Looks like the rock/spiny lobster we spear in the Bahamas. The younger the better, over 6 inch tails of course. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
