Jun. 27 2002 - WorldCatch Wave - After roughly 30 years of living on the ocean floor, he's arrived on dry land - and some hope his arrival signals growth in Newfoundland's lobster fishery. He's a 7.25-kilogram, 195-millimetre-long lobster - not counting the enormous claws - caught by a St. Mary's Bay area fisherman last week near St. John's, Newfoundland.

Jerry Ennis, a research scientist with the federal Fisheries Department, called it the biggest lobster he's seen in nearly 40 years of studying lobster, and likely one of the biggest ever caught in the province.
