Feeling quite proud of my pile of squid I'd caught, I decided to do one more cast then pack it in for the day. I flung the line right out deep and almost straight away, the fishing rod was just about ripped right out of may hands! This had to be the biggest squid the world had ever known!
I wrestled for about 40 minutes pulling it in and finally got a glimpse of it as I got it near the boat... It was huge, at least 3 metres long! There was no way I was going to get it up into the boat with just the fishing line, so i tied it to the mast, grabbed a long plank of wood and stuck it under the squid to try and lever it up.
It was still too heavy so I climbed the mast and jumped off onto the other end of the plank hoping to flip it into the boat...
Great theory, except it worked too well.
The squid went flying through the air, straight over the top of my boat, towards the pirate ship and straight down the stairs leading to under its deck.
Oops.
Next thing I hear Blue screaming from down below. Great, now I was gonna cop an earfull.
I jumped across to the other boat and ran down the stairs.
WTF?!!
The squid had landed on some giant startled looking wolf thingy and now they were tearing each other to shreds...
