trojan it was 35 cm and a bugger to get off my measure!and yes months is too long! ,and alan i have a rule ,never eat anthing more intelligent than me !! he was way too cute to eat and well behaved when i unhooked him, also they are usless as bait!plus i got the feelgood factor seeing him sqirt off into the depths with my inexpensive cree headlight!

Don't agree with you on this they are not useless as bait 3/4 inches of a tentacle deskinned make a great wriggling attracting lure as a bait as good if not better than soft plastics
