Title: Giant Squid filmed

A giant squid was hooked a few days ago alive and was filmed on the boat which caught it. I watch the video on www.cnn.com so check it out there, it is amazing. I'm not putting the link here because cnn video hates my firefox sometimes, like now. If you can't find it, post here and I'll try to upload it because this baby is beautiful and I hope they released it.

My computer hates javascript just as much as CNN hates your firefox. :(

I watched the video yesterday on Yahoo news. That is one BIG Squid. Some day maybe they will find a bigger one.

24 Footer and it wasn't fully grown! :o
Cool Footage and exciting. It is a bummer the researchers couldn't keep it alive, what a cool exhibit that would have been!
Thanks for the link!

WOO HOO! I'm at home now so I could see the video. What an amazing and beautiful creature! I wish they had let it go back into the wild. I felt so sorry for it stuck on that hook trying to get away. How neat to see it using its hydropump action to try and get away. Thanks so much, Julie!

Beautiful footage, beautiful female giant squid and it's a shame that she didn't live through the ordeal. Hopefully next time they just let her go. I believe too much damage was done from the first hooking.
