maine is strick about there lobsters. but looking at the tail this is a male, if it was a female the tail would have a couple of notches in it. if you noticed when you go to a reaturant and order a maine lobster and they are small, that because they have some very thight restriction. when a lobster is caught there measured and weighted. they are only allow to keep lobster between 4 and 8 pounds. if any lobster has eggs they notch the tail and but it back in the water.
there season goes from early july to november.
here is a quick question.
how many of you guys know that lobster use to crawl out of the water walk on land and lay there eggs and retrun to water.
