Reading this got me wondering about what do squid actually see, so I did a quick web search and found this.
Mostly just general information on squid but maybe something might be of interest to some of you.

I have some videos from this fellow and was just talking with him earlier today at a local fishing show. He has some awesome videos and is known as "The Diving Fisherman".
Here is more on the vision of squid and their Polarized Vision.
