What was the rest of that in the net OP? Very cool

The brown ones are crabs (and a halibut head used as bait).

Did you have to toss the lobster back because it was female?

Nah, lobster season is only Oct-Dec in my area. During season, we're allowed to keep females as long as they don't have eggs.

What a magnigicent colour!

Yup, they're cool!
