Octopus Attack!

[quote name='madog' post='7726' date='Dec 2 2006, 08:03 PM']I've been commercial fishing in Puget sound my whole life and handled 100's of Octopi from a few ounces to fifty pounds or more; and have never been bitten. Octopi are very intelligent, and inquisitive. They like to explore anything new in their envirinment. They do react to fear, and stress. If you are afraid of them they will grab on relentlessly <img src='http://www.squidfish.net/forums/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/w00t.gif' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':woot:' /> , they let go when you calm down. Some varieties are poisonous. So I suggest you grab 'im if you can, put 'em in a bucket and play with them for a while.[/quote]





Thanks for the advice mate!
