NS whitetail Posted January 4, 2015 Report Share Posted January 4, 2015 I have been lobster fishing for 30 years and this is the first time that I have ever caught a blue lobster. The odds say it is a 1 in 10 million chance of catching one, so I bought a lotto ticket lol. I am having a local taxidermist do him up for me so I can keep him in my rec-room which is already full of old nautical stuff and hunting memories such as antlers and pictures.

fly Posted January 6, 2015 Report Share Posted January 6, 2015 How long do lobsters live? Might have got a fish to bit on eBay. However, if I ever shoot a 200 inch buck he's going on the wall - not eBay. Congratulations Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apparently they are MORE rare than the blues. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
