I don’t see how it could get any easier than a trapdoor. Ex.https://www.makospearguns.com/Lobster-Inn-p/mli.htm
This is the style I like it opens wide so you can put a decent size lobster in it. Also easy to to store it on the dive until needed as you can fold the bottom of the bag into the opening and close it so it’s not dragging. Some of the trap door ones are not that easy to stuff a flopping larger lobster into.

The lobster bag which is referenced initially is very common in Florida. It is quick and simple and robust. The mouth can handle lobsters up to maybe 5-6 lbs without too much trouble. I am not sure on the exact maximum size, it depends on how many legs you are willing to sacrifice and also the males have bigger "heads". In any case, for MOST areas in Florida, that bag is more than adequate, but if you are diving where the lobsters are commonly larger, then I would use some other kind of bag.
