Man accused of tucking 6 lobsters into his pantsFortunately for him, the critters around San Diego don't have pincers
SAN DIEGO - A San Diego man accused of poaching lobsters allegedly was caught with six of the creatures stuffed down his pants.
Thirty-three-year-old Binh Quang Chau, who has been cited four times for poaching, allegedly took the lobsters from the La Jolla State Marine Conservation Area.
Department of Fish and Game warden Daryl Simmons says wardens arrested Chau when they noticed "odd bulges" in his pants. All six of the newspaper-wrapped lobsters were still alive and were returned to the ocean.

It is good that the California Department of Fish & Game is catching lobster poachers.
Fishing is not allowed there in La Jolla, so it is a no-brainer for them to catch morons poaching.
DFG needs to crack down on the blatant poachers on the CA piers as well...especially perform sting operations to nab the damn cheats who rape the waters well before the lobster season opener.

Ray,
I appreciate the news, dude. But, your picture is NOT of California spiny lobster which are found in western waters. They have no claws.
