30-foot, man-eating octopus at Ten Mile Point today

Very cool! How did the octo react to you being around? Scared, aggressive, indifferent?

Walrus2 and Skookumchuck were there. They might be able to be more accurate with the size.

It was originally in it's den, but when I swam up it shot out some tentacles to "taste" my hands and then it came out in the open. We didn't touch it, but it was frequently reaching out to us. Eventually it slithered back into it's den and we moved on.

Sounds like an awesome experience!

I did. By the way, we found out why it was acting strange. We went back today and saw that it was mating.

This is what I miss for turning down Andrew's invitation.
