MAINE (CNN/WMTW) -- Take a look at this, it could be the biggest lobster you've ever seen.

Not much smaller than a toddler, the lobster, which right now is living inside the Maine State Aquarium, weighs a whopping 27 pounds!

Aquarium officials say the marine patrol delivered the giant lobster after a shrimp trawler dragged it up last week about five miles off of Port Clyde.

Plans are to eventually release the lobster back into the ocean.
