Fishermen in New Zealand have caught a giant squid........

"Expert Steve O'Shea said the squid had weighed in at 1,089 pounds and measured 33 feet long — heavier but shorter than initial estimates of 990 lbs and 39 feet."



Slightly bigger than the ones I use for bait.

Audie, I think that once they're caught, they don't survive for long near the surface... or something like that.:idontno: They hang out in VERY deep water.
