Humboldt squid in Westport

Just wanted to let people know that there seems to be a bunch of humboldt squid in the Westport boat basin. I guess they are dying after spawning and there are so many the WDFW has lifted limits on them. I have gone fishing for these giants in Southern California and not only do they tast great and make great bait but they also put up a hell of a fight, especially if you get a 50 pounder. Its too far for me but I would definitely go get some if I was closer.

Too late. They're all dead and gone.

that was an amazing sight though. i seen a video online those squid were huge!!! wish i could have seen it in person and actually hooked up with one.... the crabs and fish are surely gonna get a hell of a feeding.
