Years ago, when my dear old Mum was still with us, I was determined to get her a Lobster for Christmas, and in our town we had a seafood shop so I went to order one and when I was asked how big did, I want it I said the biggest you can get.... 3 weeks later on Christmas eve I went to pick it up and it weighed in at an enormous 8 pounds, I measured it across the head at 9 inches the cost was equal to its size .... $165 even and they kindly threw in a pound of legs which were my mum's favorite part. It was caught in the Southern Ocean near Tasmania !!
gday capt bailiwick and sara ,what a great catch .here we have the southern rock lobster and some of those are huge but when you look at the ones in the supermarket they should have been thrown back must be just legal size all the good ones go to asia we get the crap . Anyway a good calm day not like when you went out with your mates on the high seas good video take care .
Thanks crispernator!! Was an absolutely stunning day ! I totally agree ones in the supermarket never look as good can't beat the fresh ones and catching them yourself!! Ahh interesting regarding the lobsters you get I'll read up about them 😀 thank you as always for watching Neil

You need to shorten your bouy lines so that your bobbers are showing at high water . This will stop all the weed bunching on your bridal spinners , also reduces lassoing and becoming fast on bottom snags . Stay safe and. Good luck. Nice prawn !!
Love that you go out in a simple little boat that's inexpensive and easy to handle, can be tucked behind your house and trailered right down to the beach, and just enough to fit your needs. Over here, USA, everyone runs around in monsters. My sister has a 19 footer with a 150 hp motor and she thinks it's too small.
Ahhh interesting !! Yes cracking little boat and I'm friends with the guy that built it 😀 thank you for watching there will be plenty more trips in it!!

Very interesting but what a waste of rope. The water is so shallow that you don’t need 50 miles of rope! 10 feet per pot seems ample! But I am an Aussie and we don’t catch lobsters or crays like yours.
Lobters are like fish, the bigger they are, the gamier and harder they taste and chew.. anything over 3 or 4 lbs is like chewing on gum.. if you want to see big lobsters, come to maine (USA) there are some that go beyond 20lbs..
BAILIWICK FISHING, congratulations on your epic day of lobster fishing! It must have been an exhilarating experience to catch the biggest lobster you've ever had on your boat. Your channel's adventures in search of the elusive lobster are truly captivating, and I'm sure your subscribers are eagerly following each of your fishing expeditions. Keep sharing your thrilling fishing experiences, and I'm looking forward to more exciting videos from BAILIWICK FISHING! 🦞
Hey Neil I was float fishing up by Plymouth hoe a couple of years ago on low water . The float went under very slow started reeling in and to my surprise had a lobster of 3 kg put it back far to old to keep lived to swim another day
We used to use a restaurant in Las Vegas, Rosie's Grill. It was a lobster restaurant and they were flown in daily from Boston. The smallest were 3 kilos, nd the largest ones on the menu were 25 kilos . I was shown the holding tanks once, I don't have the words. Regards
Oh yes they are delicious there main season is April when the monsters come in for breeding , late summer like now the meat just isn't the same , my main target is lobsters Thank you for watching Bailiwick fishing 🎣
Very true :) I'm a mechanic by trade so have undersealed it as much as i can but I also after every time using the car/ super D was down vigorously with a fresh water hose to help 😀 but yes the salt water will win in the end haha thank you for watching , lots more to come 😊

I hate to be a downer...seen this happen to many a vehicle...drive the highway and warm up the axle on the way to the fishing grounds...owner puts his tow vehicle up to the axle in cold sea water the axle contracts with the cold, sucking sea water into the back axel through the axle vent...won't notice anything on the way home but in 6 months new gears will be on order besides the brakes all coroded all covered in salt water...just sayin"
Very correct tony that can happen :) I've always got my eye on a new vehicle as a back up and i never spend much on the vehicles for this reason haha.😎thank you for watching hope you enjoyed it lots more to come

i just had a twin lobster special for $28 bucks but i've never caught one. good luck fishing.
Great viedo! I'm guessing the bigger one was just under 4 lbs.???
This was my boat we had built about 10 years ago now glad to see she’s still looking good

There is no need for 2 bans on a lobster claw as they have very little strength to open
Maybe thats the way he wants to do it! 🤗
Great catch. I don’t see why someone has to “bust your balloon”. You’re happy will have a wonderful dinner with your wife. Enjoy!
I'm sure that lobster had my name on it 🤪
Haha😃 was a nice one !
Not bad ⚡️

Well, it's a lot of work for 3 crabs .I guess some days are better than the other.
You caught a monster! I hope he is really good eating! Do you sell or fish for yourself?
Thanks Mike!! Was a lovely lobster, I keep all my fish for myself and family I don't have a license so don't sell fish
