[quote:33eae]# 1981- A Russian trawler in the Ross Sea, off the coast of Antarctica,
caught a large squid (see image at beginning of article) with a total length of 4 meters (13 feet), which was later identified as an
immature female of Mesonychoteuthis hamiltoni.
# 2003- A complete specimen was found near the surface with a total length of 6 meters (20 feet) and a mantle length of 2.5 meters (8 feet).
# 2005-
A specimen was captured at a depth of 1625 meters while taking a toothfish from a longline off South Georgia Island.
Although the mantle was not brought aboard, the mantle length was estimated at over 2.5 m, and the tentacles measured 230 centimeters. The animal is thought to have weighed between 150 and 200 kilograms.[3][/quote:33eae]
They've caught them before, I never said anything about how old it was.[/quote:33eae]
Yeah but you did say that it wasn't as exciting because they had caught one recently. oOo:
Actually this is very exciting considering how much bigger this one is, and that it is fully intact - So I dunno what you're talking about.
Buttocks, I caught it like a MAN...With nothing but BRAWN and STEEL. I lifted that squid above my head and SCREAMED to the heavens....But, Alas, God was not listening that day. My calls went unanswered.
