Well sounds like these are the good to eat ones...im takenem all home!

PapaDave · 01-08-2013, 07:50 AM

Maybe I'll give it a try this evening, DP most likely.

ful-rac · 01-08-2013, 08:37 AM

510 giant squid last night outta DP. Cant wait! Heh heh! I saw some squid pictures this morning and they are indeed the good ones. Extra processing is not required on these, other than removing the membranes... just fryem up, the best calamari!

Hey Tony,

Can't go with you, taking my grandma to the airport and later washing my cat.

If that stuff is really good and you catch a bunch of it bring it to our camping trip in two weeks.

danjor · 01-08-2013, 09:36 AM

So I went to there website to buy a ticket and there was no option to select tonight. So I was like wtf they can't be sold out! So I called and the lady said they have plenty of spots left so I reserved my spot. $22 tonight a $3 discount!!! Lol see you guys out there. Gotta go pick up my license and some jigs this afternoon

ful-rac · 01-08-2013, 03:43 PM

Don't forget to fry them first

I did this maybe 10 years ago. First and last time. It's definitely a cool experience but one was enough for me. They were so thick that i watched the cigarette butts from the dickheads that flicked them in the water get picked off the surface. Indeed they are ravenous bastards and better off much farther from our inshore waters. The ones we were getting were 4-6 footers though. Good luck out there tonight fellas.

does that mean there is actually a catch limit on them? Has the size improved at all or still sub double digits?

Catch limit is when the deckhands decide there's too many to clean.
Same on our boat except we had to sit and wait until they cleaned them all. Didn't get in until 11

fishing was stupidly wide open. I kept 10 and catch, stomped and released 30+ more, I lost count around 25 and caught a lot more. Every time I would kick a dead one in another one would pull it back down to the depths within a few seconds. Lol
Great experience but I agree this will probably be my one and only time I fish for these.
BTW anyone want to buy a slightly used squid jig? $10 its the 10" smaller version of the mondo one.

ful-rac · 01-09-2013, 09:12 AM

Well the Squid fish'n went pretty good last night. We spent more time looking for these damn things than we actually spent fishing. When we finally found them....it was good fish'n, it only took us an hour or less for most people to get as much as they wanted or wanted to pay for.... Just like danjor said you got your limit when the deckhands decide there are too many to clean. I wanted to stay and catch more but....we probably would still be cleaning squid out there right now....

The cleanup crew...

The Face of victory! I pulled my squid up and was unhooking it...just as this guy turned around... the squid blew his load all over his face!

wiredantz · 01-09-2013, 09:18 AM

TONY you jizzed another man!!!!

so nasty!!

Deamon · 01-09-2013, 09:42 AM

Ummmm....wow....sorry buddy?

PapaDave · 01-09-2013, 09:53 AM

I was on the Dana Pride last night, and it was crazy wide open. In under an hour we had all we wanted and then some. Kept 11 of these, released many more...

Interested in seeing some of that gopro footage

danjor · 01-10-2013, 08:34 PM

OMG these are so tasty!!!!
After cutting the membrane off the top and the bottom. Roughly 1/16 off the top and bottom.
And soaking in milk overnight, lightly breaded and fried this is better than any squid I have had! No pounding or tenderizing needed and the overnight soak is probably not necessary either.
The best part I have about 19lbs of steaks left!
