Back in the late seventies, a friend of mine snagged a large bug while we fished on the Seal Beach 1/2 day boat ( GW?). The Captain said it was in legal and it came home in the sack!

So, was it legal then? (1977-1978)

Saw a youngster land the biggest monster of a lobster off mariners point.When I say it had to be pushing #20 Im not kidding.This was about 25 years ago.

If your that kid and your reading this and you have pics please respond,that would be so cool.

I have heard of guys using Lobster for Marlin bait. Is that legal?

I thought it was kind of strange

Yup. Caught this guy in my eclipse net. He didn't make it through the openings, although he was clearly small enough to wiggle through.

He held on and I pulled him in for a quick pic before sending him on his way.
