SANTA BARBARA, Calif. (KABC) --
A lobster caught off the coast of Santa Barbara got a second chance at life, thanks to a soft-hearted fisherman.
Forrest Galante was night fishing when he stumbled upon a 12-pound Pacific spiny lobster.
Galante named him Albert Girther and took his catch home. The next morning, Albert was still alive and well, and Galante had a change of heart.
"There was just no way I could kill it for a one-time meal. I rushed him down to their sea center, where they just marveled at the size of him, and quickly accepted him and put him into one of their tanks," Galante said.
