Was out in the sound this morning with a mate fishing for whitting we endid up with about 10 keepers also caught some grunters anyway mate decided to float one out the back ,rod took of he grabbed and line went slack he left it 15 seconds later took of again then went slack regaled in all that was left was head with hook.wonder what it could have been. Tried again with new livey nothing for about an hour then we same something on the fish on the surface anyway slowly retreived and it was a big squid having a chew ever so slowly realed in greedy bugger wouldnt let go . Got him right next to boat and I managed to net him what a laugh first time caught a squid on a live bate.

Yep
Half way thru reading that I was sayin squid. I always have atleast a handline rigged with a jig at all times, just switch him when it lets go at the boat. Never would think a squid would be huntin midwater in 20m over sand aye (where it occurs for me up behind the 3 mile). Could have then put a hook in him and used him as live bait haha, hard to use tasty treats like squid like that tho....
