But one fisherman in Maine, caught one even more rare!

While fishing aboard Slow Mocean in the cold waters of Kittery Point, Maine Scott Hoyt found something pretty amazing in his lobster trap — a rare yellow colored lobster.

The chances of catching a “calico” lobster are one in thirty million.

Hoyt managed to catch one twice! Sort of.

In August, he caught this yellow lobster and donated it to the elementary school, where his wife, Charlene, teaches. 

Students quickly named him Cal.

A week later Charlene let the lobster in Pepperrell Cove — But didn’t tell her husband.

Three days later Hoyt had caught Cal again!

The couple agreed to once again let him go, but this time, in much deeper water, where he wouldn’t find a lobster trap — they hope!
