That is definitely a monster ... well by today's standards anyway.
I have found a number places along the shore in South County where the Native Americans threw their trash . The proper name for these spots are Middens . Most are at least 350 years old. A number of these are in plain sight . Some of these middens stand 6' tall and are 20' long or more . They look like mounds of earth , or small hills . some have trees growing out of them. They are made up almost entirely of shells and bone . You dont have to dig to find them , just scuffing your foot a couple times will expose them . The size of the oyster shells in these middens is amazing . Moby would have been a little below the average size in those days. They look like a pile of old shoe soles when you see them . The average size then I would say was 10 - 12" .

That could definitely cause an ******** lasting more than four hours...
Although personally I think the old saw about oysters being an aphrodisiac is a myth - I had a dozen a while back and only 10 worked...

"There is no royal road to this heavy surf-fishing. With all the appliances for comfort experience can suggest, there is a certain amount of hard work to be done and exposure to be bourne as a part of the price of success." From "Striped Bass," Scribner's Magazine, 1881.

In the 'Big Oyster' it was not uncommon to cut an oyster into 4 pieces to eat it. Size of dinner plates
