According to the report, this bug (which looks big enough) is a mere 11 lb tiddler:

Giant spiny lobster, wrested from island cave, gets new home at Monterey Bay Aquarium | Outposts | Los Angeles Times

I trust that lobster was dead otherwise that fellow might be singing like the one of the Bee Gees right about now.

Apparently not - he donated it to a local aquarium. It seems the lobsters smoke reefers and stay mellow in California too.

Yes, indeed. Brain cramp...

Unless its wrapped in gold coins from some sunken ship, I think I'll leave anything that I have to wrestle underwater alone.

Apparently the 26 lb lobster was a Californian spiny lobster. Anyone know what the world record is for a Caribbean spiny?

You might try contacting the ! IGFA, International Game Fish Association and asking them.

Well I took a quick work break and called to inquire about the Caribbean Spiny Lobster record and I suspect they are still laughing. They indicated they do not keep records for crustaceans. I suggested that if they were to throw a few on the grill and dip into butter they would probaly quickly change their minds. LOL

P.S. I did call.
