When a fisherman hauled up his lobster trap in the Bay of Fundy earlier this week, he had two significant finds.

Deborah Lounsbury said she was in Saint Andrews when the fisherman arrived with a 21-pound lobster and a blue starfish.

"We were lucky to be at the right place at the right time. They will release the large lobster after placing it in a tank for public viewing," Lounsbury said.

This large lobster was caught a few weeks after fishermen in other parts of the Maritimes noticed some brightly coloured crustaceans in their traps.
