You might need a couple of pounds of butter for this big guy!
One unsuspecting fisherman caught one heck of a lobster weighing in at 14 pounds while on a fishing trip in Bermuda.
The massive crustacean was caught ‘by accident’ as Tristan Loescher was out fishing for snapper, according to Q13 Fox.

Loescher reeled in the mammoth lobster while on the Sanctuary Marine Bermuda’s charter boat, the station reported.
The photos of the lobster were posted on Facebook Saturday afternoon with the caption: ‘Hurricane Nicole blew in some sea monsters.’
Hurricane Nicole was a powerful category 4 hurricane that ripped through Bermuda last week with winds up to 115mph.
A storm surge was expected to raise water levels by six to eight feet above normal tides, and five to eight inches of rain are expected to fall over the island through Thursday evening, Fox reported.
After Loescher took photos of the Giant Spiny lobster, it was released safely back into the ocean.
In less than 48 hours, those photos, which were posted to the Sanctuary Marine Bermuda’s Facebook page were shared more than 6,000 times.

But this big guy isn’t as big as they come.
The largest lobster ever caught weighed 44 pounds and was captured in 1977, according to the Guinness Book of World Records.
That giant lobster was caught off the coast of Nova Scotia, Canada.
The average weight of most lobsters for sale are betwee one and three pounds.
