Catching the Humboldt in Monterey 12/31

looked like a blast , im going tomorrow for them .

they pull pretty hard huh?

Bring the best rod and reel you got.  These Humboldt are strong and they will fight you all the way from their great depth!

the eye looks a lot like breast implant.

four of those things should yield enough meat for a year!  Are they prepared like normal squid?

That's what I hear....I got a tuna stick with roller guides and a 50W reel just waiting for the next trip.

Awsome! Sorry to hear about the reel! Send that thing to Alan Tani and get an oversized handle put on. Made a world of difference to my 870!

+1 for Alan. I did the tune up and handle upgrade on my little Avet.

Sonny, Alan lives down the road from me. I'd be happy to drop it off for ya (assuming you and I can connect)

Thanks for the offer Eric.  Can you PM me his address so I can mail the reel to him?  or should I contact him directly?

I'd shoot him mail. He may have a PO box or something for the reels. He's quick to reply.
