Lobster Grinch here..growing up on the coast of Maine and living here still gives you a few insights that we keep to ourselves and away from tourists. I'll give you one freebie..none of us, locals, that is, eat a lobster over two pounds. Never. They go to the restaurants for the tourists because the meat is too stringy/rubbery. One and a half to two pounds max. Big lobsters are fun to look at, not fun to eat.

Yes - as someone who lives in Maine, it's not Maine lobster, that's for sure. We have very strict laws about this sort of thing. It's very illegal to take breeders out for consumption. Also, the biggest lobsters don't always mean the sweetest, most tender meat. Bigger = older critter, not as tender.

There were even human rights violations from inmates say that making them eat it was inhumane. Then as times goes rich people eat and love and the dynamic shifts. Enjoy this fact if you did not know about it.
