What I would be wondering would be:

How old can lobsters get, and at what age do they stop reproducing?
Just how "edible" would a lobster that big (or bigger) be? Wouldn't it be tougher, less flavorful than it's smaller brethren?
If that lobster proves to be less than perfect table fare due to its size and age, will they be returning it to the sea or putting it on display for as long as it lives in captivity?

Just curious, since we are so concerned with the keeping of large breeder bass, I figured that possible large breeder lobsters should warrent equal concern.
