I’ve never seen it but have caught Humbolt squid!

They're at least as far north as the Farallon Islands off of San Francisco. Drop a glow in the dark jig to 200 feet and start reeling. You'll have dozens of them chasing the jig up to 20 feet and then all your shipmates can drop their jigs. The jigs are nasty, but those damn squid are worse.

Are they worth eating? I'd rather have a good fish.

Pound it, bread it and fry it, and it’s a poor man’s abalone.

I’ve had it, and it's ok, but I wouldn't waste a good day fishing for it. I'd rather have a nice perch of walleye. ;~))

But fish’n is fun no matter what. It is a damn good excuse to do nothing and drink beer while you are doing it.

Do I have to say it? This has been reported the last several years, and I assume it's a genuine change.

... and two r's in "occurrence" !
