Stomach contents of a 17# fish

Wife was bugging me to bring home a fresh eating-size fish . Last night I picked up couple and brought one home. The belly was pretty distended and after filleting it I took a look see....

2 lobsters and 30 baby scup about 2" long. (and it tried to eat a 9" Bernzy flaptail howdy as well)

One of you plug makers should make a "lobster Plug". I can't tell you how many of these I find in bass. I think it would work and I would love to be a field tester They make lobster flies but I need a 3oz plug that looks like a lobster running for its life.

Black superstrike darter, but retreive it with a jerk here and there. Works for me when lobsters are present. I actually have thought of modifying one this winter to make it a little more realistic ....

2 oz Jig W/ a big rubber Craw?

I have to admit I've thought about it more than once.

black jig with black/orange uncle josh porker seems like a good choice to imitate a lobster.I know that color scheme works well for swimming plugs but it doesn't seem like it would have the action you would want.

Jim,
Rec season for scup is closed - better not get caught with those 30 undersized scup

i once bought a lobster jig. it was 4 o/z jig imbeaded in a 5'' rubber molded
lobster, the body was 5 in with the claws dagleing about7 oveall. line attached middle of the curled tail and hook was in middle of the claws. i caught a lot of fish on it til it got hungup one day and i lost it.
i got it inland at the army navy in brattlebourough vt. i have never seen another one like it and it was the only one they had.
seems though some of you rubber makers could produce one. it looked exactly like a real lobster. sure wish i could find one like it

Sometime this fall Ill ask the sporting goods guys if they have a clue who their supplier was, couple of them have been there 20-30 years so you never know.

Rob, lure was called the Clobster, salesman remembers the distributor but doesnt think hes seen it in the catalog in recent years but hes going to check when he gets a chance since the store was busy when I flew thru on sat, also says it appeared hand packaged as in a small/garage operation. May well be the same lure mentioned above by Petri.

The thought actually crossed my mind, when I open it up and saw the contents, I said, "great, now I possess 2 undersize lobsters and 30 undersize scup (at $150/fish)." With my luck the constable will drive down my street just as I push them into the trashbag.
