A Whopper of a Lobster

Curtis, a lobster fisherman from Sally's Cove, Newfoundland and Labrador, Canada, caught a whopper of a lobster. He proudly posed for this photo with his “prize” after nearby fishermen motioned for me to join them at the boats when they saw me taking photos nearby. Curtis gave permission to post this photo on Flickr. Curtis and his commercial crew caught 400 pounds of lobster that morning. The lobster fishery is regulated. I am sure that this lobster was headed for the fanciest restaurant in New England. I removed the safety bands over the lobsters’s incisors in photoshop for posting; they were on for the photo shoot. In summary, hats off to this group of friendly, engaging, joking, commercial fishers from Newfoundland and Labrador!!
