So as an experiment one of these days I'd like to rig a live lobster as bait. The smallest you can legally have would be just under a 1lb lobby I'd want a soft shell. I was thinking about a larger hook 7/0 - 8/0 through the shell in the back where the tail meets the body. I'd also poke a couple holes in it to get the scent out there.

Has anyone ever tried this? What do you think?
