Reminds me of a story. When I was a youngster playing little league baseball we had a kid on our team named Gareth. Gareth was a good ball player with one exception. He couldn't throw a baseball overhand to save his life. Some said it came from having 4 older sisters who were all skilled softball pitchers. The coaches worked with him but finally gave up and let him continue throw the baseball underhand. Anyway, because of his throwing he got the nickname of "The lobster". But this story isn't about his throwing, it is about his fielding (he played center field). He went the entire season with no errors until the last game of the season. We were visitors for the league championship and led by one run into the bottom of the ninth inning. The team we were playing had loaded the bases and their best hitter was coming to the plate. He hit a sky high ball to center field and the rest of the team relaxed because it was an easy out. Unfortunately, the lobster lost it in the lights, and by the time he chased it down 2 runs had scored. We lost the big game. In our final team meeting a couple of days later the coach had used those exact instructions to make a round "hula hoop" looking thing and put a giant net on it. He presented it to the lobster as something big enough to catch any ball lost in the lights. Later at the party the coaches daughter grabbed the catcher device and used it to trap poor Gareth (who didn't know what hit him). So, given this story, my answer is a Lobster Trap.

Gary was first in with, I must say, a clever pictorial answer. Jim, not to be outdone had a great story.

Both are correct with the answer of building a lobster trap.

Well done gentlemen!!
