They look a lot like Longfin Squid, the larger ones you see in markets, but if they were caught local they are actually young Dosidicus gigas, Jumbo, or Humbolt squid. Just babies though.
Did you catch them at La Jolla, and did they look red when alive like this?
If you did catch them local, you might want to save one of them and pass it on to Scripp's, as that would be a pretty good indication that Humbolts are now breeding locally and it's the first I have heard of it.
