How a squid can spoil your day

Post by rusty lure »

How it came up after a 2.5 hrs fight by Chris, the thought on-board that it got tail wrapped then a squid took it down, caught off Port Macquarie NSW

You would not want to be under the ocean for 2.5 hrs if that is the result. Farking big squid that did that.
