BIG LOBSTER CATCHES.
Generally speaking-, the largest catches of lobster in British waters are made along the East Coast. . At the Norfolk Ashing stations about 40,000 lobsters are landed during the season. The biggest lobsters, however, are those taken on the Scottish coasts as far north as Lewis and Harris. Here . the lobster Ashing is dangerous work, for the seas are heavy and the weed-hung rock shelves most dangerous. Very large lobsters are sometimes caught in trammel nets. Specimens of BJib. have been taken, such a lobster being too big to enter an ordinary pot They are pugnacious creatures, and each, as it is caught, has its claws tied. Otherwise they would mutilate one another.
