Once I got a pretty decent sized squid and just as I was swinging it onto the wharf it struck. The disgustingess of the sound it made was only topped by how revolting it looked. You see, I wasnt lucky enough to get simply runny ink on me. The crap that squid spray was a semi gel-like substance and one large blob dangled down from my shoulder, and then just hung there. Everyone on the wharf was laughing at me including my mates and I waited for the blob to dribble down, but it didnt. It just stretched about the length of an arm dangling down, like it was defying gravity!
After that I learned my lesson and devised a method minimising the chances of being owned by ink. The trick is to time it properly. As soon as the squid just squirted, lift it up asap before it draws more water into its tube. It has so much ink not because it stores all of it in one go but because it has this "ink concentrate" which when mixed with water produces new ink in seconds. :blink:
