On the side of Route 1 in Columbia Falls in Down East Maine, you can now find what might be the world’s largest lobster trap.
WVII reports Jim Emerson and his son worked with their team at the Friendship Trap Company where they usually build standard wire traps to make the giant version.
The trap is reportedly 15 foot by 6 foot by 45 inches.
"We just thought it would be neat. Something for people to stop and take pictures with and just to say we have the world’s largest lobster trap,” Emerson said.
According to WVII, they plan to take the trap to the Eastport and Machias Fourth of July parades and encourage anybody to stop by to check out what they say is history in the making.
