Big Squid Beached - 7/11/09 - Kayak Fishing Adventures on Big Water’s Edge

blackcloud9 · 07-12-2009, 09:38 AM

Satuday morning I saw a live big squid washing around in the surf after
surfing. I started collecting them into a 6' deep tide pool, and swam after
some, that got away. All of the ones that I caught were alive.
There were dozens of them swimming in shallow water, and occasionally
beaching themselves.

The demon filled tidepool attracted a large crowd of beachgoers.

This doesn't happen very often!!

Great post Larry,
What size yellowtail is that bait for?

Here's an article from the Bay Area reporting the squid washed up after an early morning earthquake.

However, like most 'science' (eh hem global warming, MLPA) from the Bay Area, this seems anecdotal, as there is no actual science or data in the article.
But it could be a possibility.
