Squid invasion!

Post by Dusty2 »

During a 45-minute stretch for anglers on two boats Saturday night off Southern California, they reeled an estimated 800 large ink- and water-squirting squid up and over the rails. Not a good time to dive! :eek:

What is the point in taking so many? 2 boats harvested 800 of them? That seems like a lot.

There's so many of them. How could taking 800 even put a dent in them? Right....Tell that to the Right Whale.
