A 22-pound lobster was caught off Nantucket, Massachusetts. Interesting. Even more interesting, from the article:

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals sent Wholey [the owner of the lobster] a letter asking him to work with the group to release Bubba back in the Atlantic Ocean off the coast of Maine.
Another group calling itself People For Eating Tasty Animals reportedly offered Wholey a hefty price for the lobster. At Tuesday’s price of $14.98 a pound, Bubba would retail for about $350.

UPDATE: Here’s the lobster:
