A Bucketfull of Octopus (Octopi?)



After a long rainy day out in Kaneohe Bay we were leaving the marina when a fisherman showed us his catch of the day; about 4 octopus that he had speared (awww, poor octopus, I know...) They were still alive and very suction-cuppy! The kids all stuck their hands in and thought it was so great that long tentacles were sticking and attaching themselves to them.
The Octopus were fluctuating colors (clearly stressed) and it was amazing to see them up so close and see the color patterns and how it worked.
I imagine they are Tako Poke about now.
