Those are the Humboldt Squid...they get them out in the blue water off the coast of Oregon and Washington, too, especially during El Nino years...

The little dudes around here are about six inches long out in the Straits, and they get up to about fourteen inches long by the time they've eaten all fall on their way here...I've caught them as big as seventeen or eighteen inches long, but most are in the ten to 14 inch range.

Nothing like a 20 pound Humboldt, but from what I hear the Humboldts aren't all that great to eat, at least compared to the little Pacific Squid.

Fish on...
