Good luck catching them - the local fishermen call the Humboldt Squid "Red Devils" for good reason:

Quote:There are numerous accounts of the squid attacking fishermen and divers in the area and attacks on humans are regularly seen, but only when they are being fished. Their colouring and aggressive reputation has earned them the nickname diablos rojos (red devils) from fishermen off the coast of Mexico as they flash red and white when struggling with the fishermen.

And there is this - an account of diver who was almost eaten by a swarm:
