A lobsterman working out of Portland caught his third rare orange lobster in a week on Thursday. Capt. Peter Pray showed up at Harbor Fish Market with another orange lobster, after catching two last Friday. Pray reportedly used the same trap he used to catch the first two. Earlier in June, Capt. Gregg Turner and his crew hauled in an orange lobster out of Casco Bay. In 2021, a rare yellow lobster was caught by a Tenants Harbor lobsterman. In October 2020, a fisherman at a seafood co-op in Vinalhaven caught a blue lobster.
