This isn’t your average lobster catch—it’s one in a million. Literally.
While hauling traps off the coast of Maine, we pulled up something that made us all freeze—a lobster so rare, most people only ever see them in photos. Whether it’s a vibrant blue, ghostly white, calico-spotted, or even the ultra-rare cotton candy pink, this one instantly stood out among the rest.
Maine is famous for its lobster fishery, but every once in a while, nature surprises even the most seasoned lobstermen. The odds of catching one of these rare color morphs range from 1 in 2 million to 1 in 100 million—and we just beat the odds.
You’ll get a full look at:
- The moment we spotted it in the trap 🪤
- Our stunned reactions
- A closer look at its markings, shell, and color
- What happens next (yes, it might just go to a marine research center!)
We also talk briefly about how and why lobsters like this exist—from genetics to shell pigmentation, and why they’re usually released or donated for conservation.
If you’re into marine biology, fishing, or just love rare nature finds, this is one catch you have to see.
