Quote:Earlier this month, Bob and Karen Shoemaker of Lynnwood were trolling for coho salmon at Nootka Sound on the west side of Vancouver Island when they latched into a pair of giant Humboldt squid that weighed 25 pounds apiece.
Back in 2004, a flood of the behemoth squid made an appearance off Washington with some dead ones washing ashore on the southern coast.
They are commonly found off Mexico and southern California, but rarely come up as far north as Oregon.
