These things are smarter and more compassionate than your dog. Suffocation, hooks...

This is cool but I wish people would stop confusing the Humboldt (Dosidicus gigas) squid with the Giant Squid (Architeuthis Dux). The Giant Squid is an order of magnitude bigger (and rarer to find).

I went on a 3/4 day charter, the very first morning(3am) of the phenomenon, at oxnard charter fishing(they have a site).

We caught hundreds and hundreds of squid. My family alone brought home 80 or so. It was unfortunate, though, because they eat all the other fish.(I won the jackpot with a 12 inch chuckle.)
