Had another awesome day of diving with my dive buddy Jason O'Donnell on Thursday. Jason and my self took a 32 pound octo that was after losing 2 arms in the battle. What a battle it was ! This was a total team effort to get this thing. That thing fought Jason and I both for over an hr and after a crap load of dives we had our catch.

not sure I usually just go to a friends house and I supply the food and they cook it so not quite sure but I know they boil it some times and others soak in milk all I  know it comes out great, I am sure with this huge one I will give some away so it does not sit in the freezer to long.

Sorry to hear about your new disability. I hear they are doing amazing things with prosthetics these days. How did you get it up? Toes and Teeth?   :smt003

Slide it as thin as you can or pound it like Abalone and dip it in soy sauce & wasabi.

That thing must have a large beak! Does it try to bite you when attacked? :violent1:
