The squid have arrived in Tacoma!

oh all right good work you can do up to four jigs but that's kind of crazy so i do two i do one little one on the top and one bigger one on the bottom and i actually make these myself and then yeah then you just cast it out there let it sink down at the bottom jig it up and down reel it back up to you and uh when the squid attacks that it kind of feels like you hit the bottom it kind of lifts up your jig a little weight yeah You're jigging up and you're fighting it and you'll feel it's a little heavier. So no bait you just lift the jig up? There's no bait, that's it. It's just they're attracted to the movement and we make the jigs glow in the dark because some people fish in the dark, they shine a light down in the water. But on this dock in the daytime because the water is deep enough and it's still coming close enough in the day. How long have you been doing this? I started squid fishing during COVID. Okay. Bring it up like this and they're going to shoot the ink on everybody. Upset people. Has that happened where you've seen somebody pull the squid out and just shoot ink on everyone? Yeah they shoot ink everywhere. That's kind of weird you know. So we we try to keep the squid in the water so it can get rid of all the ink. Yeah I didn't get any water. Wow. Baby ones for the top and heavier ones for the bottom and they all go in the dark. It's getting dark. It's really cool. How long have you been making these jigs? Um about four years. Okay and you got started because you were saying because you kept losing them and you're like You do snag them. and you come down here and sell them? Yeah, every once in a while. That's really cool. Rick, okay Rick, what do these taste like? That's a very good question. Like the ocean. It just depends on how you cook them I guess. You know some people deep fry it, some people stir fry it, some people stuff it. Hmm. Squid pancake. Yeah squid yeah. Kind of chewy-ish. Yeah but they're good. They're good, yeah. That's how you cook them. And they're two pounds, two pounds is the limit. Ten pounds. Ten pounds, okay. That's a big difference. It would be like that bucket to the top essentially. Rick, how long did it take you to get this many here? Um, I don't know, seven-ish this morning. You got here since seven? Yeah. Downhill kill on time.
