Telegraph said Mr. Simon Sharp, 42, saw the shrimp in the net while fishing on the waters near Darthmouth, Devon County, England.

After pulling the shrimp on board with his wife's help, Sharp realized that it was the largest shrimp ever. The length of the animal's body reaches more than 90 cm. Its length is 36 cm long and more than 20 cm wide - large and strong enough to cut off the arm.

After taking a picture of the shrimp with a mobile phone, the couple decided to drop it into the sea.

'It's a huge lobster but it looks so old and weak that we release it. We didn't want to eat the animal because it thought it was tough , 'Sharp told the Telegraph.

Based on the photos, many marine animal experts claim that lobsters can be 100 years old.

A spokesman for the British Marine Conservation Association praised the couple's actions.

'Old lobsters play an important role in the reproductive activity of this species. Lobster is being overfished, so Mr. and Mrs. Sharp's actions are very respectful , 'the spokesman said.
