Joey, thanks again for the 4 enormous lobstahs Sunday morning. My friend from Ohio, the NYG fan, loved them. We ate until we couldn’t eat anymore, and had lots of leftovers. Which my wife Kristina made into lobster salad for lobster rolls. However, I am sorry to say, she made the colossal mistake of chopping up a stalk of celery and mixing it in there. But I want to assure you, I have taken corrective measures. I beat her mercilessly, divorced her, and unfriended her on Facebook. And after she gets out of the hospital, I’m going to bring her down to you so you can cuss her out and then push her in the harbor. I’ll let you know when we’re on our way. Love, Doug

I’ll tell you right now, I don’t care what you do for a living but when you start bitching about the air conditioning being improperly set at your office, take a pill and think about the horrible wet rough weather our guys are out lobstering in today.
EARNING THAT PAPER TODAY BOYS!

Tune in to Diane Sawyer national news on channel 5 tonight at 6 for the story.
Here’s the yellow lobster Dave Jewell aboard the Lady J caught last week.
The lobster on the right obviously is the normal one. There are no bands on the yellow one because it was a female bearing eggs and only brought in to take pictures of.

My first and as of this writing only lobster taken on snorkel. I caught this in about 12 feet of water, at low tide in Rockport. Totally worth buying the permit to have this memory. Here’s the lobster, next to the guage — you can check it yourself with photoshop, if you’ve a mind.
Kevin O’Maley and his crew swung by the dock with a Blue Lobster that they caught just off the Breakwater when lobstering yesterday. Being the stand-up men they are they will be bringing it to The Gloucester Maritime Heritage Center so that the community can enjoy checking it out.
Kevin and the boys also charter their boat for full or half day fishing trips. You can find them online at www.cbcharters.com

To Make clear the following is only satire and I’ll take responsibility for people not from around the waterfront misunderstanding
I was wrong to assume that because I predominantly write our hyperlocal blog for our Cape Ann residents that people would understand how preposterous the notion that you could have time to move all the lobster gear even if they knew where the lobsters were released and to set it and for those lobsters which were probably miles away from that location would ever get caught.
I was obviously wrong and people did not understand with the outlandishness of it all that it was a joke.
It’s on me.
What I am happy for is that the releasing of the lobster story which would have been a simple story largely forgotten by now has gotten huge legs and all the positives of Buddhism are highlighted. For that I am grateful.

You know the craziest part? So many people think I’m hatin on Buddhism, but I download a Buddhhism podcast from this guy that Lindsay Crouse recommended that I listen to- Lama Marut.
Check him out, the guy makes a lot of sense. http://www.lamamarut.org/

Receiving the coordinates of where the lobsters were released by Buddhist monks, the boys went out yesterday and hauled the lobster traps they set all over that ocean bottom and caught exactly 534 lobsters, the precise number the monks released.

Thank you and come again next year Mr Buddhist monks, we would like to invite you back again and again to purchase our lobsters and “restock the pond”
From Reuters-
GLOUCESTER, Mass. — Instead of plunging headfirst to their death in a pot of boiling water, 534 live lobsters escaped the dinner plate and belly flopped to freedom into the dark waters of the Atlantic Ocean.
A group of Tibetan Buddhists flanked the sides of a whale-watching boat at dusk on Wednesday, sprayed the lobsters with blessed water, clipped the bands binding their dangerous claws and gently released them one by one into the deep water below.
