tako are very smart. it took me years and years to be able to outsmart them. it’s like a game trying to get them to come out of their hole. but once you figure it out, it’s pretty easy. 
and the trick is to keep them alive. 
i’ve actually thrown some on my boat before and they escaped. it’s pretty cool watching them try to outsmart you.
back in the day, this was a dream catch. sashimi, fried fish, and takoyaki for a dinner party. just one of my secret spots…
