Man frees 17-pound lobster from Conn. restaurant .
Associated Press
WATERFORD, Conn. — A Connecticut man purchased a 17-pound lobster at a Waterford restaurant, then released the crustacean back into Long Island Sound.
Don MacKenzie of Niantic tells The Day of New London (http://bit.ly/MGvGHb ) he knew the lobster, nicknamed "Lucky Larry" by local children, would have to be about 80-years-old to reach his current size and felt it deserved to live.
MacKenzie won't say how much he paid The Dock restaurant to take Larry off the menu.
He took the lobster back to sea Tuesday, releasing it in a secret location.

And not give a photo?
Oops! Wrong one...
I would have saved that one, too! 
That lobster should not be in a restaurant, it should be in the sea. I'm glad he did it.
