PINE POINT, Maine – A 14-year-old girl in Maine caught an extremely rare blue lobster while out to sea with her father.
On Saturday, Jay LaPlante of the Miss Meghan Lobster Catch company was retrieving lobster traps off the coast of Pine Point, Maine, with his daughter and company namesake Meghan when the 14-year-old retrieved a trap with a rare blue lobster.
“It definitely stood out,” LaPlante told the Portland Press Herald. As it should have – researchers estimate only one in every two million lobsters are born with blue coloring.
