Octopus aka Kraken

Cut off an arm - there's an option I hadn't considered. BTW, please don't consider my reluctance to kill an octopus a judgement of anybody else's decision. It doesn't bother me a bit that others do kill them. I've found pulpo / tako to be OK eating, but I would rather have ling or salmon or razor clams.

Not at all Sherm.   You actually painted a pretty good picture of your underwater event that was really cool. 

I don't know one way or the other, but are there any legality issues with cutting off a leg?

I don't think there are any legal issues? 

There is no license required, or size limit set for the whole Octo in Oregon. 
So, I wouldn't think LEO would give much of a hassle if someone was to bag a leg or two. 

Here is a link to all kinds of fish traps.  Octopus traps are covered near the bottom of the document.  Lots of interesting trap designs for various species.
