Adrian,

Here are two reasons why I love diving in these here Dark, Mirky, Cold, Northeastern Waters:

One was 13 Pounds & the other a bit over 10 Pounds. I stuffed the 10 with my world renowned incredibly delicious lobster salad. That was a few years ago, and the guests at the New Years Eve Party, that enjoyed the bounty of my Dec. 30th dive, are still talking about it.

The last time John & I deep fried some Manatee it just wasn't that tasty!

Richie

Richie, those are some very sweet bugs you got there!!!! Alright, I'll conceide the point that the whole lobstering thing is one legitimate reason to dive in the Northeast:

however, how many lobster has John caught in those quarries lately???

Throughout the years, I've caught many many lobster in South Florida, but non quiet as impressive as the one's in your pics.

However, since making the transition to closed-circuit, even though I have my official State of Florida 5-Year Lobster Harvesting License, it's my understanding that the Florida has deemed us reabreather divers not worthy of harvesting lobster - Dam Florida politicians!!!
