Fisherman reels in huge spiny lobster in Bermuda

HAMILTON, Bermuda -- Hurricane Nicole may have brought more than wind and rain to Bermuda.

Two fishermen are crediting the storm with bringing in an enormous, 14-pound spiny lobster.

Charter boat captain Matthew Jones said he and one of his workers, Tristan Loescher, were fishing off the shoreline Friday, the day after the storm blew through the island.

Jones said Loescher thought he had a snapper on the line after it somehow got wrapped around a mooring.

When Loescher went in closer to investigate, he instead spotted the huge crustacean.

Jones said it's one of the biggest lobsters he's seen. Loescher held up the lobster for pictures before releasing it back into the water.

Jones said spiny lobsters are known to head to shore before storms.
