Oversized lobster Q - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

The only reason a smaller fish might be better than a larger one is mercury content. Ive eaten grouper over 100lbs that were great. Some will say the smaller ones are better, but its because they think they actually have a chance to catch the same fish in their lifetime. Take what you can eat reasonably, and fish the rest of the day for FUN, until your arms fall off

The reason most folks say that a big lobster cooks up tough is because when cooking a whole big tail, one of two things happens...either you under-cook the middle by trying not to over cook the out-side edge or you over-cook the outside by trying to get the middle of the tail cooked...that's why I use the bigger tails for stir-fry or pasta dishes and cut it up to cook it evenly.

Well, I'm glad I don't have to worry about it....

Good info guys. I think there's a lot of misinformation thrown around out there.

I haven't got out hooping this year. Rats chewed holes into a few of my hoops and I've been to lazy to doze them.
