The September 1978 issue of the Cricket showed this local Manchester resident with the 24 ½ pound lobster he caught he caught off Whales Back.  At the time, he reported that it was just an ordinary day off the coast of Manchester as he pulled three trawls and had about a dozen keepers when this beauty came up in the fourth trawl with his claw caught in a trap. 

Know who this guy is?
