Wrap your P15 with metal spikes and you might catch one too. After sturgeon, what's left besides GWS and giant squid.

How are these different from the Humboldt squid that have made an appearance the last couple of years?  Except for size of course...

I think the difference is and correct me BSTEVES if I'm wrong is that normal squid have tentacles with plain suckers for holding prey and feeding it into the beak. The Humboldt squid have the same but their suckers are lined with razor sharp barbs
