Fishermen Catch Massive 14-Pound Lobster Off Bermuda

BALTIMORE (WJZ)-- A charter boat pulled in a massive lobster off the coast of Bermuda over the weekend with the help from Hurricane Nicole.

The Sanctuary Marine Bermuda charter caught the 14-pound spiny lobster by accident and later released back into the water unharmed.

"We accidentally caught the lobster on hook and line while night fishing off of the shore of Bermuda for snapper, the day after Hurricane Nicole struck and we hooked this massive lobster instead," said Captain Matthew Jones.

The charter shared images of the big catch on Facebook with the caption, "Hurricane Nicole blew in some sea monsters"!
