"Maine Lobsterman shows New York City boys how it's done." In this early 1970s' photo Burt Carter is measuring a lobster in a Carter-built boat in Bremen harbor. The minimum carapace size at the time was 3 3/16 inches. (In 2015 it is 3 ¼ inches, with a maximum length of 5 inches.) Burt's son Paul holds up a lobster. Above the lobster trap is the davit on which is hung a snatch block. The pot warp went from it to the winch head behind Burt and Paul. To the left are the New York boys; one is holding a bait iron with redfish on it. Redfish was purchased from bait sellers and stored in the wooden barrel.
