Nice video!!!! Cool to see what you normally dont get a chance to due to the water barrier! We are doing something similar but with black sea bass and black sea bass pots!

Cool video. Thanks for giving us a different view of what happens down there!

[@eaglewolfzen]

the thing is, I dont think its intentional, but its the way they get spooked and swim off, kinda catapults them back to an exit.

it makes you wonder how many times that happens in a day

Looks to me like the spooked lobster jumped and accidently/luckily landed on the exit. Didn't look like it intentionally went for the exit. You made a big deal out of a coincidence. It is a cool video though!

Don't get me wrong, that was pretty cool...but I'd bet my bottom dollar that the same lobster embellished that story at least a little bit as she told her friends later on. No question. You know how those lobsters are with glory stories...
