  • Mark I lobster net
    Patent number: 8857098
    Abstract: Sport fishing for lobsters by divers is done with a hand held net. Lobsters in a net try to escape through the large net opening by flipping their tails. It is accordingly an object of the invention to trap a lobster and prevent it from escaping. The Mark I lobster net closes by flipping a lever with the thumb, preventing the lobster from escape. The overall density of the net is greater than that of sea water. If the net is dropped, it will fall to the bottom and not drift off. The handle is painted a florescent yellow so that it can be seen on the ocean floor.
