Monster SD Bay Lobster - 11-25-2011 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

I'm sure Scripps enjoyed the lobster dinner.

The thought crossed my mind that I might be feeding some poor biologist. Having done four years of biology before engineering, either way it was a donation ($40-K per year doesn't go far when fishing gear comes into play).

Hopefully it wasn't to the same idiot that recommended sinking the dead whale off of La Jolla in 2,500-feet of water (anoxic to start with) to locally increase the BOD/ COD and subsequently kill all the fauna within a 10-square mile radius. Probably the same idiots that sponsor the MLPA nonsense.

That's a big female!

I didn't spend much time with crayfish while studying biology. Please enlighten us. I catch enough most evenings that I would be game to let the big girls go so our kids can enjoy paddling and bugs too.

The finlets on the underside of the tail overlap. On males they dont, most of the lobsters you see in that size range are all males.

Small one female, big one male.
