I hope you sent the squid eggs back down to thge dark depths. Those sand anchors are really cool, they take the egg sacks right back down to the bottom for further gestation. I hope someone can tell us the gestation period of the squid? I am quite sure the sack are squid eggs but yours look the same as some I pulled up a couple months ago. After the big squid sex fest in Jan, & Feb it is amazinjg we are still pulling up the egg sacks. I thougth they would have all hatched by now. I heard about someone catching live squid a few months ago so maybe mating was going on later in the year as well.

Were you yo yoing or using dead squid your you nice tail?

I was out on Friday pm and made pleanty of of nice bait but only caugth a Bonie on the troll with a micro feather.

Squid reproduce sexually. A female can produce thousands of eggs, which she stores in her ovary. In male squid, sperm is produced in the testis and stored in a sac. When they mate, the male uses a special arm to transfer packets of his sperm into the female's mantle cavity or around her mouth, where the eggs are waiting. Then the female ejects the gelatinous mass of fertilized eggs from her funnel or mouth and hides them under rocks or in holes. After four to eight weeks, baby squid hatch. At birth, they are smaller versions of their parents. They feed on tiny creatures called plankton while they grow to adulthood. Many squid live fast and die young -- their entire life cycle takes just one year. After male and female mate, they usually die. Less is known about the life cycles of deep-water squid, though, and they may have considerably longer life spans.

Nice catch DB.

Nice job my man! When I saw a bunch of Macks that weren't even close to being nervous....I had a feeling

I have heard that the fish in the last photo are really no good for human consumption, however if you would like I might be able to find something to do with it for you.

What's up, guys. I'm back from Hawaii and got otw yesterday for the first time since being back. I caught a big fish and similarly found 15 in the belly. Dang, I didn't know whether to keep 'em for bait or eat 'em! I decided on bait, but it was a close call. Check it out...
