Yeah. It's because they get so big, every moult they get bigger and bigger but have less and less energy to free themselves. Eventually the lobster will die from exhaustion during a moult because the moult is either too big or they are too old to be able to remove it in time.
Little do people know, When lobsters have their claws rubber banded for a long time they either can't use it anymore, or have to wait a long time to use it again.

Lobsters that have had their claws rubber banded typically loose mobility of them. Did they make sure he could still use them before releasing him without his defensive?
@@nunol1554 Not always, there's lobsters where it can take weeks and that is with human assistance. There's also those who can never use their claws again.

He won't be able to get the mault off of him, causing him to either die of exhaustion while trying to moult or to get stuck and slowly starve to death in his moult.

I hope he will be okay. His claws were banded so long which means they may not work for a long time or possibly ever again. A lot of stores also don't feed their lobsters so they are very weak. Hope he'll be okay and not caught again.
@@flyinghigh6627 I am thinking the same. Freshly caught and released the next day. He should be fine. He has been through worse when molting his huge exoskeleton to grow.
That lobster needed rehabilitation due to probable starvation since it was caught, claw injury/atrocphy etc so basically what they did was to allow it to die free not live free.
I wish they would’ve released the lobster further away from the shop. There’s a chance they could’ve caught him again, possibly intentionally... especially since it took time to regain dexterity on its claws after being banded and atrophied.
@@robinsommer6009 IKR?! After all that publicity, I’m sure locals also hunted the 🦞. It’s like rescuing a rare, valuable pig from a slaughterhouse, leaving it in the woods next door…AND having a news crew film it all. 🤦🏻♀️
@@ifp748 yes, after having it’s claws banded for 2 days, a lobster likely won’t have full dexterity immediately. While it’s not the exact same, imagine your limbs banded for 48 hrs. And if that lobster really was 100 years old, his age combined with the stress, anxiety, and possible mishandling and pain could’ve caused more issues.
@@blue-calla true, hopefully he was okay. She should’ve maybe brought him home and rehabilitated him for a few days to make sure he was ready to be taken back.
There should be laws protecting not only the smallies but also the extraordinarily large individuals of a species because if they get that large then it means they have good genes and they could help keep their species alive if they were to pass their genes on.
Animals don't get that big being stupid. It will probably never go near a trap again. Why would anyone cripple a lobster, then band it's claws? Use logic.
I can’t believe she doesn’t realize she doomed the lobster to die hungry It’s claws have been closed for years and won’t open to help hunt or manipulate food without weeks of rehabilitation
Good for her, judging by that weight; that Lobster is over 100 years old. What people don’t realize is that the optimal weight for a Lobster to be cooked is 1 1/2 pounds. Anything heavier than that loses its sweetness and the meat is tough and flavorless. You’ll never find anything larger than that in anything about an average restaurant (you MIGHT find a 2 lb but that’s the top limit).
i have had a 30 yr old, 3kg lobster before when i was a food blogger. Didn’t pay for it, but I didn’t enjoy the dry texture. seeing your comment, i guess it’s too old and only good for pictures.
@@jameslatief1 Sad… thinking a living being is “only good for pictures”. Imagine living for 30 years then getting killed just for an unknown food blogger to eat you and complain 😑
So what did he hit the ocean floor with? Did he just bang his claws in frustration until he died from over-exertion? I do not.... Oh, I get it now. Just a little slow today I guess.
That is sign of fat and happy society. During the great depression this woman wouldn't have thought twice on cooking that lobster up to feed her family. Good times brings stupid people who virtue signal. There are people in 3 Rd world countries that are probably starving and would have thought this woman was insane
The meat probably isn’t even that good anyways... the best tasting lobsters are 1.5-2lb... there’s no point to keep it other than it being a “trophy” so I’m glad it was released back.
A lobsters meat gets tougher with more time. So if a lobster is 20lbs and old, it’s gonnna be tougher than a smaller 2lb lobster. Most lobsters over 3lbs start to get really rubbery. Similar to regular meat. You don’t go to a steak house and get beef that’s been worked to pull farming equipment, cause that steak is going to be so tough and unpleasant to chew through. Instead, you get younger cows, that don’t do as much moving around or heavy work so the meat is tender.
@@bryan-cv2ew our teeth are not designed for chewing tough meat, only wild animals that are carnivores have the strongest jaws to eat through hard muscular meat. Crocodiles possess the strongest bone crushing bites in the world. They can eat elephants, buffalos, lions, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, and just to name a few animals.
@@idominusrex5952 Jokes on you humans have a bite force of up to 300lbs per square inch or more but that's the molars front teeth are more around 200 lbs per square inch us humans have a more efficient but just as powerful bite force.
@@stormie909 It probably will. That dense woman just had them throw it back with no rehab to build back the muscles in its tail and claws. So it got thrown back into the ocean with all the predators but no way to defend itself or escape quickly. And it's so MASSIVE that it'll be easily noticed. That women spent over $200 to give that animal a slow, stressful death.
Frankly I don't mind eating them .... but from my experience with sea food; the bigger the worse they taste. and this 100+ years old lobster won't taste good at all with all the toxins, metabolites and heavy metal that concentrated in his body over decades. It was the best choice to release it back to the wild.
Mahmoud Abdelaal You are right about the lobster, but I seriously dont believe she did it because of that. Its all about self-attention, the reason it was filmed all the way.
Since she bought the lobster it's technically hers so if they had out a mark on it,even if it's recaptured they can recognize it as her lobster and release it again but who is to know it's hers if unfortunately it get captured again.....But 100 years old...I'd say let the poor guy live.
Is she trying to send a message against catching lobsters? Cause what she did is a fisherman's dream come true. They catch a lobster, get paid for selling it, then the person who buys it throws it right back in the water for them to catch and sell again. Double profits, that'll teach them a lesson.
oceso they dont even need to catch it again. Its enough its down there, breeds etc. Even if they wont catch it again, its one more lobster. Its like they getting paied for it, yet they still have their awesome lobster that will breed and make more lobster for them.
Should have kept him in an aquarium to live out his days. Shouldn't have released him. He'll probably get caught again and not be so lucky next time. The Macdonald ladies are pretty.
The issue with this is that she kind just gave that lobster a death sentence. When their claws have been rubber banded for a long time they lose muscle function. It may take weeks for the lobster to be able to use their claws again. Yes they can feed themselves without the claws but that's not ideal and they can't defend themselves. On top of that their dexterity will deteriorate heavily as well. Usually they aren't fed or fed very little, making them weaken even more. She should've given the lobster some recovery time before releasing to ensure he was okay, still able to use his claws and legs. It's not just crucial for feeding and defending but also for moulting. Moulting takes a lit of energy out of lobsters. I see a lot of commets saying: "Oh in a week or two he'll be able to use his claws again." If he moult during that period he's basically dead meat. It's already very hard for a lobster that big and old to moult (usually they die of exhaustion during a moult) and then you give him claws that wont work. It's a recipe for disaster. Poor lobster. (Not to mention, they probably didn't even put him back anywhere remotely close to where he lives. Meaning he will be hella disoriented and the food sources that allowed him to grow so big and majestic may not be available in the same quantities which is definitely not doing an old man like him any favors either.)
It all depends on what kind of animals you farm ... out of sea animals 🐷🐮🐣🦆🐓🦃 don’t really have a chance.... to flea the coop ... cause they are in a cage or fenced up ....
It was a sweet gesture. Biologists say that lobsters this size are at the end of their life cycle but i hope he's got a few good years left.
Yeah. It's because they get so big, every moult they get bigger and bigger but have less and less energy to free themselves. Eventually the lobster will die from exhaustion during a moult because the moult is either too big or they are too old to be able to remove it in time.
I hear they can live for a while & grow bigger than that. Idk 🤷🏽♂️

Plot twist, next week he was caught again and fed a family of 8.
I’m gonna buy a steak and take it back to the farm

Should've put a tracker
Dee Don T so it doesn’t get caught again
Lmao
Crystal Marie straight up
Actually a good idea, I hooe she doesnt get caught again..
Lobsters molt, so the tracker would disappear quite soon. Also, the tracker would most likely get it killed from stress.
What if he wanted to die
Guess we'll find out in the next episode of .....

TheCorvallisBoys so true ! XD
My exact thoughts
I wish they would’ve released the lobster further away from the shop. There’s a chance they could’ve caught him again, possibly intentionally... especially since it took time to regain dexterity on its claws after being banded and atrophied.
NO KIDDING ITS LIKE ALIENS ARE ON THE PLANET
WHAT THE HELL IS WRONG WITH PEOPLE 😤
They said they’d just caught him I thought
@@robinsommer6009 IKR?! After all that publicity, I’m sure locals also hunted the 🦞. It’s like rescuing a rare, valuable pig from a slaughterhouse, leaving it in the woods next door…AND having a news crew film it all. 🤦🏻♀️
@@ifp748 yes, after having it’s claws banded for 2 days, a lobster likely won’t have full dexterity immediately. While it’s not the exact same, imagine your limbs banded for 48 hrs. And if that lobster really was 100 years old, his age combined with the stress, anxiety, and possible mishandling and pain could’ve caused more issues.
@@blue-calla true, hopefully he was okay. She should’ve maybe brought him home and rehabilitated him for a few days to make sure he was ready to be taken back.
There should be laws protecting not only the smallies but also the extraordinarily large individuals of a species because if they get that large then it means they have good genes and they could help keep their species alive if they were to pass their genes on.
Her money, her choice. I would've eaten it definitely.

She didnt think that one through
Probably gets caught and set free all time, just plays the game and gets on with it!
Animals don't get that big being stupid. It will probably never go near a trap again.
Why would anyone cripple a lobster, then band it's claws?
Use logic.
Ryu Hayabusa umm that lobster is over sized there is a limit in size
Dumbass girl. She just do it for media attention
100 years old? He’s way older than that. Closer to 150 easily.
Imagine being a lobster getting to see humans and land and getting returned back.
Why is this in my recommended

If it was a female, I can see letting it go. It can go lay more eggs.
I see that too.
Fuckin visionarys over here
Movie Games it died within hours of its release guaranteed
Then why did they call him king
Alexander Betancourt he said “if” he’s not saying it is a female
Women: Sets lobster free😊
Lobster: “Finally”
I can’t believe she doesn’t realize she doomed the lobster to die hungry
It’s claws have been closed for years and won’t open to help hunt or manipulate food without weeks of rehabilitation
They just caught him a week ago, and lobster don't use the claws to eat.
Good for her, judging by that weight; that Lobster is over 100 years old. What people don’t realize is that the optimal weight for a Lobster to be cooked is 1 1/2 pounds. Anything heavier than that loses its sweetness and the meat is tough and flavorless. You’ll never find anything larger than that in anything about an average restaurant (you MIGHT find a 2 lb but that’s the top limit).
But a lot of humans are too stupid to think like that. To them big means good.
i have had a 30 yr old, 3kg lobster before when i was a food blogger. Didn’t pay for it, but I didn’t enjoy the dry texture. seeing your comment, i guess it’s too old and only good for pictures.
That makes sense cause the lobster is old, goes for all types of food/animals (smaller tastes better)
@@jameslatief1 Sad… thinking a living being is “only good for pictures”. Imagine living for 30 years then getting killed just for an unknown food blogger to eat you and complain 😑
Asking you because I feel like you’d know lol how old are the average lobsters people eat ?
plot twist*
He died from hitting the ocean floor after he got dropped in
J Smith its crippled all legs broke
J Smith Despite that, it's weight is too much once it hits the sea floor. Also it's crippled.
So what did he hit the ocean floor with? Did he just bang his claws in frustration until he died from over-exertion? I do not.... Oh, I get it now. Just a little slow today I guess.
Tage skorstad was thinking the same. He was so rough with the lobster
Isn’t water like zero gravity but wet or something ? I’m sure he’s fine
The comments are hilarious considering they gave him no time to heal his claws
so the lobster most likely died immediately
That is sign of fat and happy society. During the great depression this woman wouldn't have thought twice on cooking that lobster up to feed her family. Good times brings stupid people who virtue signal. There are people in 3 Rd world countries that are probably starving and would have thought this woman was insane
Okay so 🥱🥱🥱
They just killed him if they did it the same day his claws were forced closed shut and he couldn't use them for at least 3-4 days.
True...but he can use his other dextermities to scoop up left overs on ocean floor
His claws were only banded for a few days. They have to be banded a lot longer than that
They got a string tied to him thats why they were playing with the camera angle
@@spiphsidetv1619 why though? Who wants to eat a lobster that tastes about as good as a rubber boot?
Wouldn't that be some shit if he somehow died from the impact of the water
Teebiskit I read that lobsters don't really swim bc they are bottom feeders and are pretty fragile so it's entirely possible!
20 minutes after release
"Hunny I'm going fishing!"
"I'm gonna catch that lobster again"
One hundred years old! Such a beautiful creature... I hope it survived the transition back to the wild.
They should have put some mark/ color on him so even if he gets caught ppl will know that its him. n he may be saved again.
yes, please, LOTS of delicious dna samples. for uh.. tracking purposes of course.
Saved again? If I caught that beast, he'd be on the dinner table that night.
unfortunately you can't tag it because it'll eventually molt its shell and will lose the tag.
FJS 15 I'd eat it just out of principal
FJS 15 he would just molt and lose it.

The meat probably isn’t even that good anyways... the best tasting lobsters are 1.5-2lb... there’s no point to keep it other than it being a “trophy” so I’m glad it was released back.
I've been hearing the larger the lobster the better the taste!!
A lobsters meat gets tougher with more time. So if a lobster is 20lbs and old, it’s gonnna be tougher than a smaller 2lb lobster. Most lobsters over 3lbs start to get really rubbery.
Similar to regular meat. You don’t go to a steak house and get beef that’s been worked to pull farming equipment, cause that steak is going to be so tough and unpleasant to chew through. Instead, you get younger cows, that don’t do as much moving around or heavy work so the meat is tender.
@@bryan-cv2ew our teeth are not designed for chewing tough meat, only wild animals that are carnivores have the strongest jaws to eat through hard muscular meat. Crocodiles possess the strongest bone crushing bites in the world. They can eat elephants, buffalos, lions, zebras, rhinos, giraffes, and just to name a few animals.
@@idominusrex5952 Jokes on you humans have a bite force of up to 300lbs per square inch or more but that's the molars front teeth are more around 200 lbs per square inch us humans have a more efficient but just as powerful bite force.

The lobster may have died. It takes weeks for a lobster to reuse his hands after being taped shut for 24 hours

@@stormie909 It probably will. That dense woman just had them throw it back with no rehab to build back the muscles in its tail and claws.
So it got thrown back into the ocean with all the predators but no way to defend itself or escape quickly. And it's so MASSIVE that it'll be easily noticed.
That women spent over $200 to give that animal a slow, stressful death.
Omg so good🙄
@Cheese hi
He done well to hide the fishing line attached to it when he put him back in the sea.
Frankly I don't mind eating them .... but from my experience with sea food; the bigger the worse they taste. and this 100+ years old lobster won't taste good at all with all the toxins, metabolites and heavy metal that concentrated in his body over decades. It was the best choice to release it back to the wild.
Mahmoud Abdelaal youre right my friend a lobster that size would be tough as nails and not taste good . good soze for lobster is 2-5 pounds
You got some valid point. But i think bigger do often taste better. But not old, there is a best time for it . Should pluck it when it iz ripeed
I actually never tried seafood, I’m grateful I didn’t.
Mahmoud Abdelaal
You are right about the lobster, but I seriously dont believe she did it because of that. Its all about self-attention, the reason it was filmed all the way.
The bigger the cock the better ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
100 year old lobster demands a better death than being boiled alive
Kevin Ip lmao it looks dead when they threw it down.
Buffalocat Li if you were paralysed you would look dead too probably
Buffalocat C:, ya so let's stop that warming of the globe
Since she bought the lobster it's technically hers so if they had out a mark on it,even if it's recaptured they can recognize it as her lobster and release it again but who is to know it's hers if unfortunately it get captured again.....But 100 years old...I'd say let the poor guy live.
No lobster should be boiled alive
Here's an idea: Don't fish for lobsters in the first place. Leave the animals alone.
Lobster that big usually don't taste as good I've heard. So perhaps that was the right thing to do
Is she trying to send a message against catching lobsters? Cause what she did is a fisherman's dream come true. They catch a lobster, get paid for selling it, then the person who buys it throws it right back in the water for them to catch and sell again. Double profits, that'll teach them a lesson.
Lance Hedges technically not because they still need to get lucky and catch it again
oceso they dont even need to catch it again. Its enough its down there, breeds etc. Even if they wont catch it again, its one more lobster. Its like they getting paied for it, yet they still have their awesome lobster that will breed and make more lobster for them.
@@oceso They made their money, if someone ate it it's gone, now they have a second chance, another dumb vegan comes in, 3rd chance
Should have kept him in an aquarium to live out his days. Shouldn't have released him. He'll probably get caught again and not be so lucky next time. The Macdonald ladies are pretty.
Doogerauoy Sihtdaer been caught once in 100 years. Think he has high odds.

Next month, we'll be hearing the story of the chef who cooked King Louie.
I thought it was illegal to sell lobsters that big in order to keep populations flourishing?

“Well well Well, If it isn’t the king himself.”
How about you keep it as a pet? It's gonna get caught again 😭
0:36 I’m sorry but nobody walks like this lol
That lobster went back to his friends like “I did 3 days in Human captivity but I found my way back to the Sea, so dont fck with me”.
The issue with this is that she kind just gave that lobster a death sentence.
When their claws have been rubber banded for a long time they lose muscle function. It may take weeks for the lobster to be able to use their claws again. Yes they can feed themselves without the claws but that's not ideal and they can't defend themselves. On top of that their dexterity will deteriorate heavily as well. Usually they aren't fed or fed very little, making them weaken even more. She should've given the lobster some recovery time before releasing to ensure he was okay, still able to use his claws and legs. It's not just crucial for feeding and defending but also for moulting. Moulting takes a lit of energy out of lobsters. I see a lot of commets saying: "Oh in a week or two he'll be able to use his claws again." If he moult during that period he's basically dead meat. It's already very hard for a lobster that big and old to moult (usually they die of exhaustion during a moult) and then you give him claws that wont work. It's a recipe for disaster.
Poor lobster.
(Not to mention, they probably didn't even put him back anywhere remotely close to where he lives. Meaning he will be hella disoriented and the food sources that allowed him to grow so big and majestic may not be available in the same quantities which is definitely not doing an old man like him any favors either.)
She really thinks she's some sort of hero smh.
You are absolutely correct. They catch lobsters for a living you figure they would have thought this through smh 😟
The shop said they'd just gotten him in so chances are his claws weren't banded for long.
SHE SHOULD HAVE EATEN IT AND ENJOYED ITS 100 YEAR OLD SWEET BOUNCY LOBSTER FLESH
@@gfbmusic It probably would've tasted similar to your rancid labia.
“As long as he learns his lesson and stays away from lobster traps.” Yes, because literally every animal we farm chose that fate
