West Coast Whoppers bug edition
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.

Big ones taste just fine. I think the misconception comes from not being able to cook it evenly due to its size and lack of cooking medium to do so. All ya need is an effing big pot!

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!

^ Good advice, cause a medium sized one stabbed my ring finger when it curled up. Imagine what that beast would do...
