Fisherman catches giant shrimp
Fort Pierce, Florida -- This shrimp isn't an average crustacean .
The Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission posted several photos on Facebook from fisherman Steve Bargeron, who watched a fellow fisherman hook a massive crustacean at a dock in Fort Pierce, Fla.
Bargeron described the creature to FWC as being about 18-inches-long, and striking its own tail. It was grabbed by its back like a lobster.

How many diners to a shrimp that size?????
That beast is too big for my barbie ...
Have to use an open pit and spit it.
This is going to change the meaning of, ''your a shrimp''.
I'm afeared of that critter . Perhaps if we called up that cop who killed the chicken with a shovel it would become a manageable task ...
That thing gave me goosebumps and a case of the heebie jeebies.
Nothing like a little tail Grumpy!!
It's from the very bad Vincent Price movie The Tingler .
Now don't ask me how I remembered that information.
Looks like the critter has been identified :
I think I'd prefer to just call him Phred ...
I found it. Here it is and OMG it's real.
Isn't "giant shrimp" an oxymoron?
Hang on a sec. If this was caused by the release of radioactive waste from the Japan tsunami, can you imagine what a mutant lobster will look like?
