I have actually seen reports of these squid being found in the southern parts of Sea of Cortez.. They are depleting the sardines causing smaller heards of sea lions.

We've caught them out of Rocky Point before. Pretty regular out at the 51, so it isn't just the southern Sea of Cortez. One of the biggest biomasses I've ever seen on my fishfinder covering nearly a mile.

That article is horrifying. I'm more afraid of those squid than I am of the narcos.

Isn't there a previous thread about squid on here? I remember reading it and googling squid and being horrified at what I learned. I remember being surprised that I didn't even know what a squid looked like! I'll look for it and bump it up.......

Eeewwwwwwww squid scary!!!!!!

For those of you that care to read the original post about squid, it was titled "glow in the dark waves" in the general section on Sept. 1st, 2009. That'll make you even more horrified, Melissa. Sorry, I don't know how to attach a link....... Eewwww, I don't even want to think about it.......

I'm scared, but morbidly curious.

I remember my first time I was a little scared very nervous it was very wet and squishy and it happened at night as well as the cool water and slight surge.
Diving with the squid in San Diego can be fun but not for the faint of heart. Not sure if I would drop in with some of the 6 footers but I do love the calamari

Are these squid being harvested for food? Can they be? Could the harvesting of these squid for food decrease the population? If all this is possible, is anyone doing it?

I would be more afraid of being attacked by one of these squid than by a shark...

I found one about 4 feet long last April north of Los Paradones (about 50 miles north of Rocky Point)stuck in a tide pool
