Oversized lobster Q - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

Every time I see a report of a big lobster being caught I see a response saying, "let it go, the meat is too tough at that size anyway ".
When I first got into fishing and hooping I landed myself a 5-6 pounder. That was before I understood that the big ones are the breeders. The sucker tasted great in my opinion.
So my question is, why do people say the meat gets tough? Have people actually tried them that big? Maybe people cook the meat too long since it's such a big lobster? Basically this question can be asked for any big fish. Just random thoughts

*disclaimer*. I'm not for keeping the monsters. Please let the big lobby's go. I'd love to be pulling in bugs with my kids some day.
