Taken from http://animals.howstuffworks.com/marine-life/squid2.htm
Squid reproduce sexually. A female can produce thousands of eggs, which she stores in her ovary. In male squid, sperm is produced in the testis and stored in a sac. When they mate, the male uses a special arm to transfer packets of his sperm into the female's mantle cavity or around her mouth, where the eggs are waiting. Then the female ejects the gelatinous mass of fertilized eggs from her funnel or mouth and hides them under rocks or in holes. After four to eight weeks, baby squid hatch. At birth, they are smaller versions of their parents. They feed on tiny creatures called plankton while they grow to adulthood. Many squid live fast and die young -- their entire life cycle takes just one year. After male and female mate, they usually die. Less is known about the life cycles of deep-water squid, though, and they may have considerably longer life spans. Nice catch DB.

Similar Findings
What's up, guys. I'm back from Hawaii and got otw yesterday for the first time since being back. I caught a big fish and similarly found 15 in the belly. Dang, I didn't know whether to keep 'em for bait or eat 'em! I decided on bait, but it was a close call. Check it out...
