An excited restaurant owner in Florida contacted the media with his rare find a 14.98 lb lobster. Most of the specimens he serves are between 3-5 lbs. and would be around 15-20 years old so he guessed Larry's age to be around 110 (they grow more slowly the bigger they get). A man heard about Larry and called to buy and reserve him for a family dinner but before that happened a local group (irescue) inquired if they could reimburse the man and save Larry's life. The restaurant owner complied and Larry is now on his way to an aquarium in Maine where he will either eventually go into their lobster display or be released in the ocean. While I would like to think of Larry gaining his freedom what are the odds that he would be caught again and might not be so lucky next time?
