AFC 32 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 I have seen a few calamari in my time but this one takes the cake. Caught off Pearson Is I assume it has been feeding on 6 week old grain fed calves and all the roadkill from Pt Lincoln to Elliston. wazza, Jack., adamibinfishin and 3 others 6 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

AFC 32 Posted May 19, 2011 Author Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 He caught it on a bait meant for snapper. Didn't eat it. We thought it would provide 12 months worth of whiting bait. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

afishyfish 4 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Bet the angler thought he was snagged when that one latched on Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Piranha 76 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 Smart move not eating it, would have been like chewing on a tractor tyre :cheer: Seen a few caught over near melbourne that are truely massive, thats a very nice SA squid Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Mr_Willy 3 Posted May 19, 2011 Report Share Posted May 19, 2011 We caught one at Cape Jervis awhile ago that was over 3kg.... and it tasted fine!!Not sure about the size in comparison to this one though... This one looks a lot thicker through the body... I reckon the one we got had longer tentacles though.... Looks to be heavier than ours though... You would think around 4kg...
