With a lobster gauge! It's a cut out and when placed in front of the eye stalk must not clear the back edge of the carapice. If you go to the dfg website and look at the regulations you will find a drawing. As a side note, you must measure the lobster when you take it, not later back on the boat.
You must also measure it before you place it into your bag. You may bring the lobster to the surface to measure, but you can not take it aboard your boat or place it in a game bag until you have measured it and it is legal.

Yep. Measured before entering your kill bag.
