6/14 PM WFO...
...squid!
After the third tug and release, I finally hooked one. In my excitement I gaffed the wrong end and got hosed. Threw on the squid jig and immediately caught another. Gaffed that one properly and stayed dry. Needed chum for the BD YT event this weekend so it was the next best thing after a fish.

All three of mine were completely white. I had never caught one before, and they turned out to be a lot easier to handle than I thought, and now I know that my squid jig works. One of them got a tentacle on my hand. I wouldn't say it hurt, but it wasn't pleasant.

sweet squid next time try and tie a little green glow stick on the bottom of the jig. Works like a bastard caught more than i could imagine a couple of weeks ago had to stop fishing because they were jumping on the boat.
shhhhh it's a secret |

I took a look at my pictures. Only the first one, the one I pulled on board, was all white.
The rest had some red. This bite was WFO, no need for glow sticks. |

I caught some during the day a couple years back. Several big squirts came up with the hung squid and stayed around the yak for a short time. That was a little nerveracking. Can't imagine at night. Did they come up to feed or did you get them down low?
Nice job on the calamari. |

Those squid can change color from solid red to solid white and everywhere in between. I've caught some in baja that have flashed red to white and then back again at boatside, not even the slightest combination of colors between flashes. Maybe the all white is their "oh @#$%" color Really cool animals, too bad they eat all the fish

Man, That makes me a little leery of hopping in the water with the speargun this weekend. . . How deep were they?
Kind of cool to see the color phases of em. |

All over. They'd probably eat you alive.

I believe that. These little guys came close to pulling 40# line.
