Hey there BFFG,
How you hook those critters depends on what you fish for with them. Didn't any of them try to grab you with their tenticles. Let them get a good hold on you and you're gonna be in a world of hurt! They have a beak and when they bite you they cut a triangular cut about an 1/8 inch deep. Were you fishing with fresh dead?
Anyway, for bigger fish, you triple hook them starting from the tip of their tail pin then again and finally once more making sure the hook is only 1/3 down the body of the squid.
With the triple hook you can cast them a good distance and soak your bait without worry of it accidently coming off.
