Squiddy Fiddling
Submitted by big john on Thu, 2022-04-28 16:45
Just returned from an epic 12 day product testing mission to the Montes.
The fishing (all jig or lure) was awesome, but the squidding was something else.
Big hungry tiger squid, including an epic session all captured on drone. I was catching them with 80lb leader on my jig rod, just tied on the jig that was handy.
Sight casting squid, good fun. Tasted pretty good too, especially the satay squid. :)
Here's a couple of pics to wet the squidders appetites out there.

Interesting
Interesting watching their behaviour on the drone video when one is hooked. The others aren't shy at all, they have fomo.
