That reminds me of the scene from the movie The Great Outdoors when Dan Aykroyd is grilling huge lobster tails.

It always makes me so hungry for lobsters.
Does anyone remember about 30 years ago when gigantic African lobster tails were popular? They were like a pound or two each, just in the tail.
No, but I do remember 10+ pound lobsters from the Dry Tortugas and Cay Sal Banks. On a night dive in the Tortugas, we snagged one that was as long (without measuring the antenna) as Karen's arm, measured from her finger tips to her shoulder. The biggest problem with 3, 4 and 5 pound tails is if you try to cook them whole they get tough. You have to cut the meat into smaller pieces to get even cooking.
