There is a Narragansett "sharpie", who doesn't frequent this forum, who last year caught a 39# and several others in the 30+ lb range, livelining squid. Not chunking it, but literally live lining them.

Just fish the squid on the bottom and you'll catch more bass than anyone else. It takes too much effort to keep squid alive ( I'm sure some of you do it) especially from shore. Besides the bass don;t care if it's dead or alive. The big bass would rather have it dead and on the bottom. Now to use a squid like an eel skin. Squid are too delicate to use over and over. If you've ever fished with squid, you're constantly replacing your bait. By the way it sounds like you have'nt left squid in the back of your truck in a few days. That smell could be the worst you've ever smelled.

How about soaking them in a brine for a few hours to toughen them up a bit? I know when they drie out the skin is like leather.

Squid are a lot tougher than they look. Brine might improve them. Back in the 60's we used to make up Squid daisy chains for Tuna by sewing them onto monel leaders. They would troll well for hours until hit by a tuna or shark.

Squid at outflows...
I have seen some LARGE bass caught at an outflow. Squid rigged w/a float inside and a slip sinker to hold bottom in an eddy. THEN, this is the imp. part, A LONG chum line of diced squid. To slow for me... but I have seen it work more than a few times.
