Only things those "cuties" are good for IS bait...my Dad and I used some squid once when we fished at the Outer Banks. 8-)

"Beast" by Peter Benchly. I grabbed it as soon as it came out in paperback - ugh. I never read JAWS, so I don't know if this is a step-down or what. It almost seems like "remove big shark, insert big squid and change a few names". Now, for really deep-sea levels of absolute crappiness, catch the TV movie they did. Beastly, indeed!
