Dreamtime Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 (edited) why is it illegal? Yes I concur. Give us a correct scientific name, size and method that it was caught with. Then let's get technical. What, was the hook lodged in the crustaceans oral cavity, or another orifice? I would presume that if a 1 hour fight was involved in the capture of this fine specimen, it must of lodged itself firmly in a cave, or someones self indulgences? Have not heard too many reports highlighting the fighting capabilities of a crustacean though! Wondering how many metres of line was stripped from the spool on the first run? One could only imagine that the cephalopd involved in the capture of this magnificent creature sucked so hard on the Lobsters head, he sucked out the brain cells of the angler at the same time. Let's get fair dinkum on this catch - who's the bugger holding the terminal tackle???? That's who we want to hear from!!!! 12 people being satiated by one crustacean - I'd like to see that!! Who were they? Dwarfs?? Give me a break - I agree the moderators need to remove this thread due to the unfounded, unbelievable tale that has been told. Do you think he used stand up gear, or was strapped to a fighting chair? I hope his tentacles did not get tangled in the anglers te#ticles. Come on guys - you know what is real / and / or custom story. Edited July 25, 2008 by Mariner 31 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eastern rock lobster Jasus verreauxi. If it was caught in NSW it would be illegal. Professional or Amateur alike. Painted/Coral are nothing like Eastern Crays. Wether the stories true or not its a bad look. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
