I've had a couple of experiences with octopus.
I caught two some years ago. My line kept getting "snagged" in shallow water so i walked out with a small gaff to see what it was. Octopus! I got two, cut their bodies away so i had the tentacles with just a hole in the middle. When I got home over an hour later the tentacles were still wriggling - spooky
Recently I caught a small one and decided to use a tentacle for bait. I cut off the tentacles (killed the Occi first) and tried to skin a tentacle. Damn thing kept sucking on to me which was really eerie, and the other tentacles were crawling around the bait board. These are really creepy creatures!!!
