LOBSTER Catch & Cook on the Traeger Grill | California Spiny Lobster Freediving 

Great vid, Chris. Good to get information from someone so attuned to nature. I, also being a man of nature, shall tonight raise an amber-colored single malt from Scotland that I shall dispatch most humanely saluting you and your family.

I love this dude so Mello and easy goin I enjoy all your videos thanks brotha

Yessah!🤙awesome video catch and cook my mouth was salivating butter smothered on the lobster!!

I hit La Jolla again today on my inflatable and hooked into my first yellow!! Fought her for a good 5 mins and had it all the way up to see color and shape and there were 2 seals right next to me so I had to try and horse it quick before they stole it and unfortunately it happened to be on my lightest setup with 25lb mono and snapped like 10 feet away... and then it just sat there for like 3 seconds completely exhausted😩..... still VERY gutted about it lol gotta get back out there!!!! As always really appreciate all the motivation you and your videos provide man!! And I will 100% definitely be cookin some bugs like this! Thanks for sharing

Solid content!!

Great video, Yum, Yum!

You are a ninja for grabbing those at night without a tank. The grilling and food section was awesome too! I do all my lobstering with the hoops off the PA14. I recently bought a scotty #1050 downrigger off amazon and plan on getting it going. lobster season got in the way but should be fun to target some hali's once it's mounted.

Ufff that looks really good bro, cool video!

Looks delicious! 👍

Great job. Hope to run into you some morning out there La Jolla shores.

Another great vid Chris. How long were those bugs in your traeger? It looked like daytime when they went in and night when they came out.

Hey Mark, any recommendations on what gloves to use for handling spiny lobster? I hear getting stuck by one of those spines can be pretty painful and that they get infected quite easily too so I'm trying to play it as safe as possible. Great content as always!

wow how croooool. did you know lobsters can feel their meat blistering before they die :'D Awesome video brother! You doing any hooping this year?

I've never seen anyone clean them that way, I just twist the tails off and toss the carapace in the trash with all the guts in it. Then I just devein the lobster and cook just the tail, that way looks a lot harder, great video.

Nice video! Looked delicious! My cousin back in Maine loves the lobster “tomalley” 🤮 😂

Chris, Great video as usual. I went hoop netting with my wife last night and only got two lobsters. We decided to warp it up after only one pull due to rough ocean conditions which was much worse than the forecast. Do you do any hoop netting?

I don't pay any attention to any talk of "feelings" when it comes to shellfish preparation. ....cook em up eat em up.

How long can you keep them alive for after being caught? Also, are they just in the ice chest with no water, or do you throw some salt water in there?

What piers are good to catch lobsters in San Diego? I’m new to lobster fishing this year.

Nice catch and cook! Hope to see a halibut in your future!

I didn’t see a single ad in this video, did RU-vid demonetize you for this video because of the lobster dispatching in boiling pan portion of the video? Anyways nice video to see for sure.

I'm gonna be that guy and offer you the advice to dispatch the lobster before dropping them in the boiling water. If you drive a large knife through the underside between the legs, it kills them pretty much instantly, and then you drop him in then. It won't hurt you to add in that extra step so I'd suggest that you do that. Also, I'm gonna have to say that spiny lobster meat spoils very slowly. It can be dead for awhile and still be good. crab meat spoils withing a couple hrs at room temp, but lobster can go at least twice as long, so you don't have to throw the lobster out if you accidentally left it sitting.

More humane way to end the lobster's day is to cut down axis before you boil him. Puerto Nuevo style. You have to do it anyhow later to grill butterfly. Boiling is longer torture for them. Plus you can grill starting from cold meat and get more wood smoke flavor. I'm sure the lobsters themselves give thumbs up for the Kerrygold. That's essential.

Wow you made a 5 minute tutorial over 15 minutes.
