Not to get off the subject, but, are the foot long squid that are off the gulf coast edible? I've never heard anyone talking about them, but, when we turn the under water lights on at night offshore, they sometimes swarm the boat. I guess that I like it fried as much as I like fish or shrimp. The stuff that we munched on in Cali last was big and fantastic. The squid that we had at Joe's Stone Crab in Miami was incredible also. I'd just like to know if possible.
Thanks.

Squid of any size is good to eat. Its all how its handled and cooked.

Typical under researched media story. Humbolts are not giant squid. Big yes. Giant no.

Hey Wayne,
If you catch any of those humbolt squid...post up us a real squirt to see.
I would love to fish one of those size squirts in the Gulf for a Big Boy Sword....that could be real scary being hooked up with that for bait wondering what was on the other end. Probably gonna need a bigger boat!
Hey Neil,
Good Luck to you & Jr on those wally's. Using the Bomb? pictures

Wayne,
Little squirts my ass, they look to be around 3' long or more, a lot bigger than any 12". That would be some awesome Swordie bait. Great, go get-cha some more Calamari man. Any fish markets purchase them for sale there?
