Has there been any sort of statistical analysis on the average female-caught squid mass vs male-caught?

<{POST_SNAPBACK}>

I added a poll to this topic so we can gather some data for you

Views of both men and woman are welcome!

Please vote!

Haha, nice topic.

I think you'll find that the 'no' side of the poll will be more worked over than the 'yes' side purely on the presumption that there are more male fishos out there then females.

Waiting to be proven wrong...

interesting... my fishing partner can sit around read a book with her jig jut dangled around the pylons then pick up the rod hav a cast and catch right in the zone i worked for 10minutes before hand. we use the exact same retreives and jigs and still shes got that luck. actually once our jigs were like a metre apart and i felt the squid on mine called out its heavy all of a sudden the squid droped my jig latched onto hers and shes just said yeh well not as heavy as mine. shes got all the luck

Squidfishing is fun - surprised at the poll results actually.

On the Goat Is. bridge in Newport RI a few weeks ago, I saw a woman just bailing on squid - whatever she was doing, she really had the hot hand.

The last 4 out of 5 squidding trips my girlfriend has caught more (and bigger) squid than me......despite using similar jigs and techniques. I ask her for her secret, and she says 'I'm just doing what you told me'. Funny how it doesn't work as well for me though.

i took my girlfirend fishing for squid and she was bored in 10 minutes and sat there watching.

[NyghtFire]

i've been out squiding with my mum (shuddap family time XD) and i am reeling in my 5th-6th squid and shes still trying to get her first one...


altho if its normal fishing (for actual fish) its the otehr way round today she managed to get a HUGE blue swimmer crab

[glen]

[NyghtFire]

yeah best thing ever to do as a family i reckon becuase its still fun and interesting but you can actually have conversations with your family unlike a cinema where its just sitting next to them

[glen]

Hey, has anyone had a look at the history of Salmon fishing in the uk, record still resides with a Miss Georgina Ballantyne for a monster fish of 64lb on the river Tay in 1922.

I know its a finfish but I have heard its all to do with the Pheromones. Perhaps emancipation on behalf of the male fishing contingent is a requirement too.

haha, interesting theory! I always go squiding with my girlfriend and recently she outfished me in numbers but she always gets the smaller ones as she likes to use smaller jigs and also having trouble landing the big ones

[LLCC]

Me missus, CC, outsquids my buddies and I put together. She pulls up not only more squids than the 3 of us, she also pulls up bigger squids than we do, and gets snagged lesser than us. I don't know what her "secret" is, since I was the one that taught her how to use that reel and jig.

[Moalboaldiver]

My wife caught the largest squid I've ever seen...


AND THATS ME....

[Nautilusly]

She didnt use a jig, right? or did she? Ouch!!
