Warden Hanna of Boothbay Harbor
says that the present season is .
record-breaker for large Holsters.
Never, he says, have the Holsters run
50 large-that is to say, when a fisher
man gets a lobster that is of legal
length. it is apt to run liz or II inches
in length. If the seven 10 ten thousand
short Holsters that have been liberated
in Casco bay within the past five weeks
had been left in the water for five
months everyone would be- legal fish
and their value would approximate ST.
600, says the warden. But" he adds,
they have not been left, for many of
them have been caught again and sold
for three cents apiece
