Other dangers in the Gulf of California


Thanks for reading my sex story. Here's another one that's 5 pages but if you're a fisherman, you might find it an interesting read. I posted this story 9 years ago so I guess you could say it's for newer Nomads.

So, is this a true story? And who is the narrator?

We we were in BoLA in April we saw hundreds, maybe thousands, of small ones (foot or two) up on the beach.

How unusual is this?

It's fiction but Humboldts do attack each other and divers. The story could be real. The trip, the hookup, the squid part of the story is real. We just got them off our gear, best we could and kept trolling north. We caught some nice dorado and released one sailfish.

You are telling me they came up to the surface, or you pulled them up from the bottom?

Jz, we were trolling surface lures for billfish, dorado, etc. >> so I guess the squid were on or near the surface (in very deep water) as we trolled thru them. The storyteller is fictional. When I post first person accounts, where I'm the author and the narrator, that's usually a signal that the work is an essay or anecdote rather than a fictional account. Proud to say that I've learned to label my stuff because readers took almost all of my pieces as real, non-fiction. That's what the exercise is about; trying to make the stories real with fact based things we see or do or encounter.

That is another riveting story, George!

I had no idea that those giant squids were that dangerous.

I'm glad that all worked out in the end.

All those times, smoken hot day, pure glass as far as you could see, sweating like crazy from the last fish, blood in the water, on the boat and everything else, and us jumping off the swim step to clean up and cool off. Laughing and splashing in the chum line. Ahhhhh-- Ignorance is bliss.
Another great yarn Jorge. :cool:

Would love to read it my Ipad tells me
"Unable to Read Document.

An error occurred while reading the document."

hmmm.... is it an Ipad failure? anyone else have similar problem?
