Part of the lure of lobstering is that moment when the trap breaks over the rail in a splash of salt water. What is inside? Of course, every lobsterman is hoping for a trap packed with hard-shell lobsters of a considerable size. But sometimes the trap contains not a bunch of claw-waving crustaceans but something just .. a .. bit .. different.
It's a good day when the bait comes to you.
