A gigantic lobster weighing up to six kilos was caught by several fishermen during an expedition at Bermuda last week.
shared snaps of the mammoth creature 聽on their Facebook page on Saturday and inserted the caption, 鈥淗urricane Nicole blew in some sea monsters鈥� 14 pounds (6.3 kilos) lobster, caught and released!鈥� The 鈥渓ucky catch鈥� coincidentally came after Hurricane Nicole ravaged the country recently.
They also shared a GoPro headcam footage of the lobster.
It all began when worker Tristan Loescher, a worker from the fishing charter, reeled the crustacean to the boat.
鈥淗e swam out, expecting to find a gray snapper, and found a male Carribean spiny lobster instead,鈥� Matthew Jones, Loescher鈥檚 co-worker, told T. 鈥淚t was one of the biggest lobsters we鈥檝e ever seen.鈥�
At first, the group considered enclosing the animal inside an aquarium. However, the group decided to liberate the lobster into the sea. 鈥淚t鈥檚 not typically caught that way so we decided to let it go,鈥� Jones added. 聽The fishermen earned kudos from聽Facebook users for releasing the crustacean back into its natural habitat.
Though the lobster was tremendously聽huge, it was not enough to beat the world record holder. In 1997, several fishermen聽caught a lobster that weighed 44 pounds (19.9 kilos) in Nova Scotia, Canada.聽 Gianna Francesca Catolico
