There were several of these pangas 5 miles offshore handlining for Humbolt Squid. Our Captain told us that they had been there all night pulling up squid from about 300 feet and they would not leave until their boat was full. They get paid about 5 cents a pound by the processing plant in Guaymas and all of the squid are shipped frozen to Korea and Japan. There is very little local consumption. We pulled a few of these up ourselves using modern gear and can attest to the vigorous nature of the work involved. Ours were released, however.
