not the first time sighted, and in the 50's they dumped them in, in deep water I thought the claws were dungies and now I think they must be lobster, I will bring up for analyst.

found this they started planting in 1907 and packed the crates with them.

I find it interesting that they were put in port townsend in 1889 or 1890 and the indians caught and sold them in port townsend.

Not much else, one report of one in edmonds underwater park about 15 years ago, and one seen in 2008, both from divers.
 
A few years ago I saw two California Spiny lobsters in widely separated slips a marina in Alameda. Have never seen any before or since. And they definitely aren't indigenous to Northern California. It was weird.
 
Hey Voo Doo, when are you going to show me this treasure
 
Too late last night was told to kill it, they only bring males for live maine lobster, so wdfw said just kill it, i shot it through the mouth with speargun and it lived till it got cooked.

Post pic's later after I get them.
 
Ooooh! Cool pic! Who's the diver?
