She added that over the years, the pair has also managed to catch rare calico and orange lobsters.

In Falmouth, a little community located just north of Portland, Luke and his mother reside. She claimed that since he was 8 years old, her son has occasionally gone lobstering on his father's boat.
She claimed that Mark Rand, his father, has been fishing for more than 60 years.
According to Luke Rand, "We've never pulled one this color or even seen one to toss back."
The male, legal-size, healthy lobster, according to him, is a crustacean.
His mother remarked on Tuesday, "This was a keeper." "They have to toss it back if it's a female or if the male isn't big enough."

Plans to bring "Lucky Blue" back home
The lobster is currently housed in a tank and on display at Becky's Diner, his mother's waterfront eatery in Portland.
She said, "We're sending it back in two weeks." "But for the time being, we believed that a local aquarium would be fun for the kids. We gave him the moniker "Lucky Blue" since he will be put back in the water and not boiled."
The New England Aquarium estimates that finding a wild blue lobster is one in two million times unlikely. In February 2020, the aquarium welcomed a blue lobster as a permanent resident, joining other colorful lobsters like orange and calico.
Over the years, fishermen and retail establishments have donated a number of unique colored lobsters to the aquarium, including a yellow and a calico lobster, both of which occur naturally in around one in 30 million lobsters. The aquarium also got an orange lobster, which, according to the aquarium's website, happens to one in every 20 million lobsters.
The aquarium, where colorful lobsters are on display for visitors to view their unusual coloring since they are more accustomed to seeing lobsters in their natural state, which is brown before turning red once cooked, has also received a highly rare half black-half orange "Halloween" colored lobster, which occurs in the wild at an incidence of in 1 in 50 million.
