Backside of Carlsbad lagoon
 

**Not on a kayak**

Buddy showed up and wanted to see one of my spots, decided to soaks one Chovies on the lagoon, found a little Hamachi skin in with my Chovies and threw it on just to see what would happen pulled up this Nice Tako about 30 mins into the soak of the hamachi.

Tako Tuesday for sure

How'd he taste? I hooked one last week on the yak while my jig was sitting on the bottom for a couple minutes.

Tako Su?!

Wonderful. I would have eaten him all but I promised to share

Guess I'll be keeping Takos next time then. Mmmm...

How did you prep it ?

Never understood guys who throw back octopus. They are hard as hell to target and taste damn amazing in my opinion.

I couldn't find too much on YouTube for live Octo so I made my own how to.

Hope it helps

Cool video. I watched the poke one too

What kind of octopus was it?

I usually pin them onto a dropper loop and send them right back down...

Looks delicious though!

California 2 spot. Or bimac I think they are called

I was in the lagoon and he was pretty decent size. Couldn't cast him deep or anything like that
