West Coast Whoppers bug edition
Took a kayak break this week to tap into our twice a year honey hole. Was not expecting the quickest, most epic onslaught of crawling monsters I've ever seen. Had 6 hoops between three of us and triple limited within an hour and a half. When the beast was pulled up on hoop number two, we knew it was on. 21 legals, and all three of us were in disbelief. 100 % males. I'll let the pics do the talking. THEYRE OUT THERE GUYS.
After dropping off our bud and his bugs, me and Andrew dropped a couple of the smaller ones off at his house and took care of the neighbors. The rest were to be immediately flash boiled and vacuum sealed for my sons first birthday bash next week. 10 pounds, almost tied Andrews 11.5 pound monster from last year and beat my old 9.5 pound personal best.

Yeah! Nicely done. Practically enough meat in the big 'un to equal all the rest combined, one huge male.

You can get the leg meat out of any sized lobster, just microwave it for about 25-30 seconds and it comes out for you all nice and cooked. Popcorn lobster is yummy. Don't forget the meat in the antennae bases(my favorite). My last limit produced enough meat from legs and antennae to make tacos for the whole family of 4, no problem. Don't waste the legs!
