Yep thats one big bug. Although I belive if you intent to return a bug to the water that you should do it as soon as possible. They are not suposed to be out in the air and doing so for too long can cause death. Also exposure to sunlight will cause them to go blind and blind bugs will not live long.
By the way if you think thats "really" big packhorse lobsters have been known to grow to over 15kgs (33lbs) !!! Anyone got a really big pot?

Bigger bugs can be eaten, just don't steam or boil them whole. Takes too long to cook all the way through, by the time the core is done the outer parts are way overdone.
Fillet the meat out of the shell. Cut it up & sautee it in butter & garlic. Or grill, broil or bake it. Just in small chunks so it all cooks quickly.

I went hooping off my kayak for Ralph last night at La Jolla, in case he crawled out of the preserve. I think he would have tasted good in Lobster Enchiladas... Just kiddin, I might of re-released him... :14: Usually the bigger bugs are good in a recipe. It was rough conditions, I spoke to one free diver, he said he only released shorts, the Vis was terrible. The wind, swell, and chop got really bad, had to paddle in around 7:30 empty handed... Just glad I was with someone, and I landed safely!

I was reading about this on the diving section of a so-cal fishing forum. You should probably hear why it was out for so long. It almost didn't get a second chance. Check it out on www.bloodydecks.com Got a few SB'ers over there too. I see the familiar faces. FYI, bloodydecks is not moderated like this board, so if you are oversensitive please avert your eyes.
