California woman caught this pix of me in P-Town. She's a nice lady, but she offered to buy my boat if I brought her back to shore. Deal is, I get a trip to Maine /New Hampshire /Vermont every year... I keep quiet about her gagging on chum and waves, AND I keep quiet in tourist places. (Fill in the blanks)

Lobster kill

Now that would be very different. I've never heard of one, let alone seen one. ]]> http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17722780 Sat, 27 Jan 2007 20:39:02 EDT Re: A little lobster trivia http://www.dslreports.com/forum/remark,17722739 login name : I used to work on lobster boats out of Point Judith Rhode Island. We had caught not only a blue lobster, but an albino one was well. Both were sent off to aquariums.

Beautiful creatures they are.

What makes a lobster blue?
Answer:
»Re: It's COLD!

Actually, the real reason is this-

A genetic defect causes a blue lobster to produce an excessive amount of protein. The protein wraps around a small, red carotenoid molecule known as as astaxanthin. The two push together, forming a blue complex known as crustacyanin which gives the lobster shell a blue color.
