Haven't cooked them yet. Going to cook them tonight.

We were in 700' of water. When the squid bit it was anywhere from the surface to 300 feet or so. Seemed like mostly around 200. I used 50lb triple fish braid on a 6' rod with a newell 332. Gear is not real important, you just need heavy line and plenty of it. I am proud to say that I did hit the bottom in 700' of water a couple times with a 12oz jax jig lol. I just fished iron although most people used squid jigs. They ate the iron as good or better than the jigs but I had a hard time getting them to stick all the way to the boat. Not that I really cared :)
