Live lobsters are caught in a lobster pot being brought aboard a lobster boat in the waters of Buzzard's Bay off of Fairhaven, MA.

Attracted to the bait left inside the lobster pot, the lobster moves through the netting inside of the pot. The net funnels the lobster inside without it then being able to escape. The bricks in the pot are used as weighted ballast to get the pot to the sea bottom where the lobsters will find it.
