Footage of the moment a group of fisherman caught a giant, 14lb lobster by mistake off the coast of Bermuda.

The video, filmed overnight on October 14, shows the fishermen accidentally catching the beast, which has featured recently in global media coverage.

The end of the clip features photographs of the men posing with the spiny lobster, showing the terrifying true of size of it.

"The lobster was caught accidentally on hook and line while night fishing off the shoreline for snapper," one of the fishermen wrote online.

"Instead of catching a big fish we hooked this massive lobster in the toe and pulled it up on land to remove the hook and get some pictures before quickly releasing it safe and sound."
