HOW TO CATCH SQUID! Catching Squid in Alaska

Would you catch it? Squid, a surprisingly pretty and unique creature. Rockfish and crabs love it as well as big halibut. It's pretty tasty too. This was our first time ever catching squid. We plan to fish this spot more in the future. We have heard squid could stay in the same spot most of the summer. It will be interesting to see if this is the case. Once you find the squid they are fun and fairly easy to catch. Getting the right gear, dropping the right depth, and keeping tension while bringing them in is key. It takes a little bit of getting used to at first and will give your arms a burn like no other.
