Wow I bet the beak on a squid that side could put a hurting on you.....very nice catch!

Yeah, they are gnargly looking! Beaks about the size of a big parrot! I made sure to stay away from that end of it lol.

I accidentally caught my first squid on hook and line while bottom fishing last year. Only 4 - 5 inches long!?!

We did not intend on catching these, we were fishing for Ling Cod with fresh squid and they were going crazy for it! We actually went back to the marina and got a a couple squid jigs and they didnt work as well as a halibut rig.

Is the other fish in the pic a Ling Cod??? Ugly lookin bastards.....the Cod's as well:beer:

Nice work!!! Those squid fight funny on rod/reel....just like octopus

:head:What to do with those squid? Bait? Dinner? Both? I like fried calamari but is there a special squid for that or will any squid work?

Yes, the other one is a Ling, they are very ugly but the blue ones look really cool. They also have a mouth full of some crazy teeth that will mess you up real quick like! Squid fight really funny, and then they balst you with water when you pull em up! A one point we had a triple hook up on these and there was water spraying everywhere lol! It was quite fun, except my buddy got inked once all over the side of his jacket!

Bait and dinner!

This was a first time for me but we just bread them with flour and some seasoning and cook in hot oil for bout a minute.
