Squidding In New England States

[JANZ]

That is right across the entrance to the harbor from where we were.
I actually went over that side for an hour or so and thats where I
got one of the 2 I caught. I said hi to those fishing there so
maybe you saw me? Anyway went fishing out of RI south of Block
Island and had a great day. Amongst my catch was a deep water
ocean squid that got snagged by a cod jig in 170 ft of water.
the tube was 10" but it was like 6-8 inches wide, red in color,
had the fins that spanned the whole tube, on the fins there were
fluorescent blue dots about the size of BB's and about 1" apart,
actually it a pretty looking beast, tentacles were around 12" on
the 2 long ones and 8" on the shorts. The tube meat was almost a
3/8" thick. Battered it up and fried for 20 seconds, still a little
chewy but tasted great. I think the thicker tubes like what you get
in the jumbo squid are definitely more chewy. What a beautiful day
out there, flat calm and warm enough to fish in just a shirt and
fishing was pretty good.
