Summary One of the biggest and oldest lobsters ever caught in Britain has been saved from the pot.
The massive crustacean measures close to one metre (3 feet) in length and weighs more than 4 kg (9 lb).The lobster was caught in around 14 feet of water by a compassionate angler fishing for sole in Bracklesham Bay, off the coast of West Sussex. The aquarium said the heaviest recorded crustacean is an Atlantic lobster nicknamed Mike who was caught in 1934 and tipped the scales at an awesome 19 kg.
