Check this link out jimbo. It should answer your question.
As for the biggest I have caught I would have to say around 10 lbs.

My son caught a blue lobster while fishing for flounder several years ago. We delivered the lobster to a local aquarium and they were thrilled to accept it. It was only 4 pounds when caught and I have no idea how big it is now.

It was a real fluke that he hooked the lobster in a claw joint while bottom fishing for the flounder. Odds have to be better than 1 inna million of anyone doing that on purpose I'll bet.

The Aquarium even gave the blue fellow a name but I can't recall what.

What I would do is place a big piece of bait on the hook and just let it sit on the bottom. Than slowly pull up the line. The lobsters would be hanging on the bait. The trick is to pull very slow so the lobster does not fall off.

Do you eat any of the lobster while your fishing for them?

[YZGI]

Oh and could you mail me a large box of them?
