Atypical Catch

I'm not sure what the big deal is either. The first pic is an Octopus that was either holding on to the sardine or the drop weight. He was nice enough to hang around for a pic before he got tossed back. I never thought I'd pull up an Octopus in the bay and it seemed interesting enough to share.

The second pic is of a well over legal size lobster that was indeed pulled up in a hoopnet in my inflatable dingy. Is it even possible to "hook" a lobster intentionally?

Glad to see that you cleared that up!
The octopus is cool. I landed one last week in LJ. It was humping my iron. When it jumped off on to my kayak I made the mistake of trying to remove it with my hand and it wouldn't let go of me until I put it in the water. It was cool but I don't like when they stick on me.

Sure it is! Its not legal to keep a lobster caught by hook and line but if you ever did release it immediately or just dont tell anybody, and certainly dont post it up on the internet. Your just askn for trouble!

Glad you did catch a lobster legally!

Lets see here, fishing for halibut an catching octopus(maybe 4 inch dia.) and also lobster that looks like its in a plastic cup or childs sand pail at best with no mention of hoop net and the "gonna eat good tonite" makes me wonder. Rapping our oceans can not be done by "one person"....Collectively yes....

If you live in a glass house don't throw stones...

Too many chiefs, not enough Indians.

Everyone needs to back the fuck off before jumping to conclusions

You all see my posts about hitting limits of Lobser, but because I have >900 posts I must be legit. A guy with 11 posts must be a poacher. What happened to giving benefit of the doubt. Perpetuate the stereotype a little more why dont we.

Anyone with half a brain or knows what a priming bulb and a size 12 set of crocs looks like, can justify the size of the container that lobster is in.

Post count has nothing to do with it. You write a report like that everyone would bet on your ass too. I ask the person that posted the thread to screen capture his post or print it out and ask random people how they think he caught the lobster. It has nothing to do with thinking the worst of people our not giving the guy the benefit of the doubt either. Just a unintentionally misleading poorly written report.

I'll post a report tomorrow of me fishing with my halibut rig with a 12" sandab next to a ruler saying I'll be eating good tonight and mention nothing of it being a sandab. Everyone better stay off my ass.

Some people never change. They thrive on trying to jump on someone.


If we trash our fellow fishermen for absolutely no reason......

Imagine......


What easy job the Eco nazis have discrediting our sport.



The guy got jumped for showing a lobster captured from a boat. BIG crime.

I wrote what I did because it didn't specify how the lobster was caught, as you can see I revised it once the info came out.

As far as getting lobster with hook and line, yes, it is possible. The next time you run into the DFG ask them how many people they have cited or arrested for catching lobster with a hook and line and you'll be very surprised.

And now, back to our regularly scheduled program

Don't understand and don't wish to. Only thing I see is the first picture looks like the front hatch on a Stealth. The second picture looks like a RIB. I guess they could have went out on the Kayak to drift for Halibut and then went back out in the inflatable for a little hoop netting.
