Giant Squid Invasion in Newport Beach
These Giant Squids have become very prevalent in the waters off Newport Beach. The fishing has increased, and anglers are catching them. The Giant Squid on the average weigh between 20-40 pounds, and some being caught are as large as 60 pounds. There are articles and photos of fisherman holding them up, and they are several feet long! Some of these giant squid can grow up to be as large as 100 pounds.
A representative from Newport Landing Sportfishing told The Orange County Register that anglers in Southern California area have caught approximately 400 giant squid since Friday night.
So I am not so sure now is the time to go diving in these Newport Beach waters – that would be scary to see a 60 pound giant squid!
