the lobsters but that's getting a little ahead of the story up and down the rugged new england coast most any morning summer or winter you'll find hundreds of lobster fisherman like this one cruising across the inlet sunshine all day is pulling in their a lobster is known as one of the world's greatest food delicacies he is also famous for being just about the world's dumbest creature so dumb in fact that he could easily get out of the trap if he had sen enough to turn around and go out the way he came in but he doesn't and this is the beginning of the end of the club those are plug with wooden pegs and from now on he's as harmless as a kid this is not expensive for a lobster is serious as he is done and a piece of red flannel is often sufficient to entice him into the trap with the
