Short story.. I'm struggling with a terrible cold/flu and i get a call to head out lobster fishing by a buddy who never catches less than 100 a night (so he says). I know it's not the best thing to do with me being sick, but with only a week left in the season, I can't pass it up.
Holy mother of god! This guy had some super cool and interesting ways to hoop net. 87 lobster on the first set of 10 hoops alone with 4 keepers! It just kept getting crazier!
We had a few nets full of them with 27 and 28 all piled in a single hoop! Dump in bin... Measure... Toss back.
Only dropped 5 sets and had this for numbers....
We even broke his old record in one evening... or should I say half an evening.
Of all of those, I would say at least a 1/4 or even a 1/3 were all 1/8" short. We also threw back about a dozen legals also. Crazy since we were only a week away from the season ending!
I felt terrible that night because I was so sick, but it somehow made things not so bad with all those bugs popping up!
