Octopus in prawn trap

Pulling up the prawn traps from 400 feet, you never know what else might be trapped. In this case, it's a Giant Pacific Octopus.
Traps were set just out from Powell River Sea Kayak's site on Okeover Inlet - near Desolation Sound, BC.

did you release it?

[prseakayak]

Yes. We put it in a bucket of saltwater for a few minutes to

observe it. We then let it slip back into the ocean.

[prseakayak]

yes - absolutely free!

@Cnidarious

As long you rub it well with salt and rinse with water to remove the slime, there shouldn't be much of a problem.

[buffaloface1]

it should have been able to get out by itself

[TheyCallMeMrHappy]

@nefarioustoast obviously not, this one forgot his gun at home.

[TheyCallMeMrHappy]

so you eat the prawns but not octopus? They is delicious! just don't over-cook 'em they end up like rubber.

No, no. Calamari with wasabi and soy sauce.
