Squid Invasion

Are jumbo squid eating salmon?

Dosidicus gigas, also known as the jumbo squid -- have been found in increasing numbers in the waters off Oregon, Washington and as far north as Alaska. Normally deep-diving, the animals are turning up in shallower coastal waters, sometimes in very large numbers.

Yeah and hopefully they find their way back outta here. Last summer watched the downrigger rod bend so hard I thought it was going to snap. They do fight hard and then they release or in our case we pull out it's beak. And if you put them in the cooler they ink all over the salmon.
