189 ounces
i finally did it... i managed to get a full 7 bug limit... but the total wasn't 189 ounces... that was just 1 bug.
went bugging. crap tide. 4 guys. 1 boston whaler. 9 nets. lots of beer result: 25 bugs (top 4 were 189oz, 123oz, 108oz, 93oz) we also loss 3 SUPER MONSTERS (all 10lb+) that did not fit inside of the eclipse net during the pull. they were hanging outside and shot off once they got close to surface.

How do you handle the ones that are that big? Grab the Antennae?
Very nicely done!

on a kayak.. i think you just keep the guy in the net until you are 158% sure that you have him gripped before you try to transfer him into the holding cell. big bugs have have heads and i just gran their antenna and let them claw the crap out of my hand/wrist while i do the transfer.

Congrats on the big bugs!!
Sorry to hear about the ones that got away. By the way that's why I keep 2 flat nets in my set of 5. I catch more volume in the 3 ambush nets but any of the super big ones that I've caught have come from the old school flat nets. |

Nice!!!
A few words of advice for big bugs. Most people overcook big lobster tails because the try and cook them like smaller tails and then overcook them trying to get them to cook all the way through. Instead of cooking those big tails whole cut them in half splitting them right down the center, and steam them verses boil them, just cooking them enough so it's cooked through. Also on those big bugs you want to steam the legs and the antenna mounts. Better then crab legs in my opinion, it's actually my favorite part about getting really big bugs. Jim |
