No doubt he couldn't hang on to it with one hand, and had to bear hug it.

Yeah, that thought occurred to me, too. Even 12-14 looks like it's pushing it. He looks like a slight kind of guy, so maybe he was standing on the bathroom scale with it when he weighed it, and it's their combined weight
![]() Personally, I don't think Shaq has big enough hands to grab an 18lber with one hand. Well, at least it got him in the L.A. Times, apparently a newspaper that doesn't require proof before posting fiction/facts.

I recently saw a 9 pounder that looked more impressive than that one.

What an amateur. That lobster is half the size he says it is, and now since he's told the whole frigging world there will be hundreds of people working that pier. I'm not sure what's the bigger joke the fact they printed the lobster was twice the size it is based on this attention seekers word, or the DFG saying that any lobster over five pounds is a trophy. The average lobster fisherman who really knows what he's doing can get five pound lobsters almost every other trip and at least one or two lobsters larger then that one every season. Here's my buddy Hugh with one that's over ten (Hugh just called up and said it was almost 12) For scale Hugh's like 6'3" and over 250. Last edited by Fiskadoro; 12-12-2013 at 02:28 PM. |

I doubt this is even 10 lbs. My biggest one posted holding with both hands was just under 10lbs. The other was just over 8 lbs and it looks very close in size to his. |

How many more friends or family members are going to say, "did you hear about the 18lb lobster that some guy caught"?
