They catch them with jiggers which are a special kind of hook. You toss your jigger over the side of your rowboat and jig it up and down. When a squid hits the jigger you pull it up and toss it into the boat. You try to swing the line just so, so that when the squid squirts out its defensive ink it hits the others in the boat. Lots of fun usually accompanied by drinking screech and having a good feed after jigging. Sorry I'm so late filling you in. I'm so behind!
