Before we dive into today's unprecedented mission, I want to give a special shoutout to our sponsor, BetterHelp - your trusted online counseling platform. Facing challenges, whether at sea or in life, requires a clear mind. Start this intense adventure with me and get a 10% discount on your first month by clicking betterhelp.com/jacobknowles Now, let's get to the heart of the matter.
I've spent my life on the waters, dedicated to sustainable fishing practices that ensure our lobster populations thrive for generations. But today, I'm on a mission unlike any other. In Miami, I discovered a protected Maine lobster, identified by a V-notch on its tail, indicating it's a breeding female and off-limits for catching. This lobster somehow ended up in a local restaurant, far from the Maine waters where she belongs.
With just 24 hours on the clock, I'm setting out to rescue this vital part of our marine ecosystem and face a series of legal, logistical, and unexpected challenges to bring her back to Maine. This video is a firsthand account of my race against time, navigating wildlife laws, transportation issues, and the ethical debates surrounding marine conservation.
Join me on this urgent mission, filled with obstacles but driven by a commitment to preserving our lobster populations for future generations. You'll get an insider's look into the life of a Maine lobsterman, the importance of sustainable fishing, and the lengths we'll go to protect our marine environment.
So, buckle up for a testament to conservation, sustainable practices, and the unbreakable bond between a lobsterman and the sea. Together, let's make this rescue mission a success.

You should have told the woman from the airline that it was an emotional support animal.

@JeremyTGrant

When we found this girl in Miami we where shocked and had to do the right thing and buy her. And honestly I think she enjoy seeing Miami.

@Jamhands9

The shot of you all walking into Walmart with a live lobster is priceless.

@brooklynrobotworks9866

Their gills - located above the roots of their legs - are feather-like. When submerged in the buoyant seawater these feathers lift up and spread out, giving them a lot of surface area with which to exchange oxygen. Out of the water, these feathers lay on top of each other and compress, essentially suffocating the animal...this is OK for tidal changes of a few hours twice a day; however, for longer periods this reduced oxygen exchange causes organ damage. Keeping their exoskeletons moist is not enough...their insides dry out and get starved of oxygen. This makes long-term survival (more than a day or few) unlikely. Shipping a lobster across the country can have it arrive alive, but it's unlikely they would live beyond a few days even if immediately put back in seawater. I've spent a few years keeping lobsters, blue, dungeness, hermit and jonah crabs and have come to learn this. Spiny lobsters (warm water) never leave the ocean naturally and thus do even worse.

So I sat next to someone with an emotional support iguana, but no lobster? Rather sit next to the well behaved rescue lobster.

@senorgato70

The level of care and concern you have for one lobster speaks volumes of your character. Freedom is now free.

@MsMedford

Awwwww Jacob thank you and your crew for rescuing Freedom. At least she died on her home soil. R.I.P Freedom 🦞

@user-randi1987

Jacob reading a bedtime story to Freedom before he tucks her into bed, in the refrigerator, sweetest scene evah!

@shaundenehy4681

America Airlines needs to change their policy for lobsters.

@paulameeks112

I discovered a few years ago that the people cabin is the only pressurized part of the airplane. This is why responsible breeders will not fly their animals if they are not in the cabin. Many pets have died. It’s possible the extreme pressure difference esp fora sea creature was too much even if the personnel handled the cooler carefully (& that’s extremely questionable imho!) I’m sorry for your lost effort & expense 💔

Lobster: Heyyyy, fancy seeing you here. Last time I saw you, you pinched my butt, gave me a snack, and told me to go home.

@charlesrabb5568

I never thought I would cry over a lobster. RIP Freedom

@ramblinrose8

Dr. Jacob Knowles Lobster DoLittle! I thought I was the only one that talked to critters!! Of course I knew I had fabulous company!!! Claw rubber bands off to you Mr. Knowles. You are the sweetest! So is your friend and "copilot" Jeremy - here's to Freedom.

@darkhorse505

This is honestly such a heartwarming video. The fact you purely felt the need to try save this lobster and go through all the effort. I think even if it wasn’t documented you would still try save it.

@rongarris8574

Jacob, you deserve the best in life for being the type of person that everyone should aspire to be. A 5th generation lobster fisherman with a successful You Tube channel. Kudos to you. In my opinion, Maine is a wonderful state and especially Portland.

@LEOtheLioness-ME

Oh, Jacob and Jeremy, thank you for your effort in saving Freedom!! Not the outcome we wanted, but you brought her home to rest. RIP, Freedom! 🥺😭🥹🫡🥰🫶🏾💜🙏🏽 God bless you all!! 🙏🏽 🫶🏾💜

@ximar0ckstrx

I'm literally here crying. I just spent the night up nursing my ferret after having a seizure and spending the day at the vet. I was NOT emotionally ready for this. But i truly appreciate and respect your attempt to rescue her. She should have never been captured to begin with. Rest in Peace Freedom. 🤍🕊🫶🏽

Luke McFadden just posted a video of him carrying-on a duffel of live Maryland crabs and flew them to Arkansas. I think he flew American. It’s weird that y’all had such different results.
