How to catch
a lobster
Hi
My name’s Christina
That’s me



  Hi
My name’s Christina
I come
from Maine
And within
Maine…
from a small
fishing village
called Cutler.
that’s
                 Cutler


called Cutler.
And in Cutler
most folks are
lobster fishermen.

            Including…
My Father




most folks are
lobster fishermen.
            Including…
and My Brother
                          My Father




most folks are
lobster fishermen.
                      Including…
And they’re pretty good
     at catching lobster.
They head out
each morning




            in their boats
as the sun is rising
past the
marker buoy
past Little River
Island
to their buoys.
They gaff
each buoy
haul up the trap

  with the pot hauler
haul up the trap

  with the pot hauler

      That’s the pot hauler
And bring it
aboard the boat.
And bring it
aboard the boat.



 See the lobsters
They take out
 the lobsters




 and change the bait bag
They take out
 the lobsters

                There’s the bait bag
                      (Stinky!)




 and change the bait bag
and measure
each lobster
                     to ensure
               it’s legal size
with this.
with this.
It’s called a lobster gauge
and goes here on a lobster.
If the lobster is too
                 small or too big it’s
                       set free.




and goes here on a lobster.
If the lobster’s legal size it’s
brought home and sold
If the lobster’s legal size it’s
brought home and sold


 But how did the lobsters get
 in the trap in the first place?
Well…
The lobster is attracted to
 the trap by the scent of
         the bait.

           Which goes in here
He goes into the trap
through the front heads
   and eats the bait.

He then tries to leave the
  trap but is tricked into
entering the “bedroom” of
         the trap.

               The bedroom of the trap
Where he stays until the
   trap is hauled.
Where he stays until the
   trap is hauled.




              Escape vents allow small
                lobsters to get away.
Once the traps have
been hauled

      and the lobsters have
               been caught
They head back into
the harbor
crate up their catch
and moor
their boats.
It’s hard work
It’s hard work
                 but satisfying
and one of the few
remaining artisinal
  enterprises in
    America.
So that’s my story
about lobster fishing
