Blue lobster: Belfast Lough fisherman lands rare crustacean

[Still Waters]

A fisherman has described landing a rare blue lobster in Belfast Lough as the catch of a lifetime.

Stuart Brown, 28, from Bangor, County Down said the discovery of the colourful crustacean had come as "a surprise to everybody".

It was caught in a pot that had been in the water close to Blackhead Lighthouse on the northern shores of the lough.

Mr Brown released the lobster after taking pictures of it as it was just below the allowable size to keep.

"It's still out in the lough somewhere, swimming about as happy as can be. Hopefully if someone else does catch it, they'll return it as well."
