PB Squid

 Caught this monster squid a few weeks back at busselton jetty at the end after an all nighter. He followed in our Live bait (which sadly wasn't very alive anymore by this stage). We caught 5 more (could have had more too) but this one was by far the biggest. I'm not very good at estimating the length of it but my foot is about a size 10 in comparison. (Although in the picture it looks like a size 4!) Sorry about the quality, it was uploaded on the iphone.

Nice squid.

Commonly get a heap that size when fishing for salmon locally in Rocko (heads 35-40cm). Haven't bothered this year due to no salmon up this way with warm waters.

My biggest was around 45cm hood length, have seen others up to 55cm.

Not a place for $800 egi outfits though

When asked by a non-fisherman 'how many fishing rods do you really need?' the correct answer is either:

n+1 (where n is the number of fishing rods you currently own); or

n-1 (where n is the number of fishing rods which would cause your significant other to dump you.
