It’s my opinion that Jaws would have been a much better movie if they’d had a giant lobster instead of a shark. “All your fancy equipment won’t be much good when that lobster gets you in its pincers, Mr. Hooper.” It happened in southwestern Nova Scotia, where Landon Shand and Lorne Pace (non-lobsters, pictured) caught this 22.8-pound lobster — let’s call him Mr. Pinchy — on the last day of the season. In case you’re wondering, and I know you are:
The biggest lobster caught was found off Nova Scotia in 1977, according to Wikipedia and National Geographic, and weighed 20 kilograms (44 pounds) and was 106 centimetres (42 inches) long.
We’re gonna need more butter.
