Anthony Saputo Inter-Continental Greasy Pole Champ

I caught up with Anthony Saputo, the Inter-Continental Greasy Pole Champ.  Anthony won in Sicily and Gloucester which makes him a greasy pole legend in his own right but in the upcoming video we speak about other greasy pole champions, who he considers the best seine boat crews of all time and gives some props to the unsung heros of the Fiesta.

Rudy!

Rudy left last night to go to Alaska for the salmon season.   He is from Honduras and been fishing out of Gloucester for over ten years.  For as long as he has been in the US he still hasn’t learned much English but is still one of the funniest guys you’d ever meet.  Video with Rudy tomorrow.

Marbled Lobster Landed By Toby Burnham Aboard The Jupiter II

I took this picture juxtaposed against a bunch of regular lobsters so you could see just how different they are.   Toby Burnham on the Jupiter II caught this marbled lobster a couple years ago and landed it at our dock.

To see the ocean oddity slide show which I added some more blue shaded lobster, and quadruple clawed claws to you can click this text

Peter Prypot has a wonderful article today in the Gloucester Daily Times about another one that was caught by John Symonds of Essex.  You can read the article by clicking this text

Here you can see just how wild they look when placed next to a normally colored lobster-
