I am not sure about the hook beak squid you refer to.

But I have caught squid that were close to 20lbs. They were pretty agressive. The problem we were having was the squid jigs we had would pull out.

Ended up attaching a heavy treble hook, under the squid jig.

A squid of that size pulls pretty good on a steelhead rod.
