Here is Jud McCarthy, father of our lobsterman John McCarthy who owns the Tin Lizzy. The other day John and Jud pulled up after a long day lobstering in not-so-perfect conditions and Jud was head aqnd shoulders down in the lobster tank unloading it
Now I know how broke up my body feels at 40. I can’t even imagine doing the kind of work required to go lobstering at ninety two years old. This is one tough old bird.

how cool is that ? wow i am 47 and felt 147 after a full day lobstering. your the man jud !!! another young man who lobsters and hooks is aboard the jenny c. tommy’s dad . i worked with him hooking in the winter, wow can that young man go . wore me out keeping up with him. besides being a good worker he was a hell of a good guy to. they sure made them diffrent back then. i had a hard time finding a (young) kid to even show up for work every day.kids now days should look up to men like jud and tommy’s dad because they are real men. once again jud (your the man ).
My grandmother always used to say it is better to wear-out than to rust-out. I’m always amazed by how people who have worked hard all their lives can just keep doing it. Jud looks like he is not to be messed with. God bless him!
