<p>&nbsp;</p><p>The squid, a female, was not fully grown and was relatively small by giant squid standards. The <strong>longest one on record is 60 feet,</strong> he said&nbsp;</p><p>Thats a small apartment building. Yikes!&nbsp;</p>

[FUNKMAN]

very scary with them big testicles...

[Jughead]

Im such a pussy...I was sad they killed it when they caught it...Anything that swins the Japanese will kill and eat by the cargo ship full.....

[cougarjake13]

didnt they catch one last year ???

[Team_Ramrod]

<p>I'm glad shit like that doesn't live near land, I'd take a fucking spear gun when I go on vacation.</p><p>What an ugly prick.</p>

[TheGameHHH]

isnt it weird that up until last year we had never actually seen one? A 60 foot squid would really scare me.

Squids are disgusting creatures. Exactly why I don't eat calamari. It also is like eating rubber. Yuck.

Why won't people quit killing stuff?&nbsp; Leave them alone, just swim up to them and say &quot;Suck this&quot;!

[BoondockSaint]

I'd rather go to deep space than the bottom of the ocean.

[Wallower]

If killing big things is cool someone has to warn the great barrier reef. It's a sitting duck out there.<br /><p><img src="http://img522.imageshack.us/img522/1626/greatbarrierreef0si2.jpg" border="0" width="300" height="225" />&nbsp;</p>
