World Record Squid Caught
Can't tell if it's called a Colossus Squid or a Colossal Squid (it was different in two articles) but at 450 kg it's certainly big...

That is a huge squid!!! Imagine picking one of those up on a twilight trip!

For all you metric system challenged people out there 450kg = 992 pounds

"Calimari rings the size of tractor tires" Hot damn! lol that sounds awesome. We need to get ahold of one of those rings for the next hookup event/bbq.
I wanna see the beak on that beast.

I can imagine it now..... think of how much bait you could cut that into to catch Tuna, bottom fish, anything. You could freeze it and have bait for 2 or 3 seasons
