Video of my Giant Pacific Octopus
Caught the GPO out cruising when I was taking photos of livestock to ship out the other day so I got a video of him

They fascinate me, but I think I should wait for a couple years before I make an attempt with one.

As a fellow Portlander growing up in Boring. I have to ask. Do you need any kind of tag or permit? or do you just drive down to the beach and spend the day diving?

If you want to collect for personal use and not for resale you are allowed to take up to 10 unclassified invertebrates per person per day with no licensing at all, not even a shellfish license is required. If you want fish or octopus you will need a fishing license. If you want clams or large game inverts like dungeoness crab you need a shellfish license. I try to make a weekend out of my trips and time them with the best tides to make the most out it.

are octopuses really as hard to keep as i've heard? they absolutely fascinate me, and i desperately want one... but afraid of how hard it is to actually keep one (aside from having a completely sealed off tank... thats no problem lol)

But thats because he was plumbed into a 500 gallon system kept at 55 degrees and I have access to as much live food as I want to feed him. I also didnt keep him to the point that he was a size problem.
