For the first time ever, a giant squid has been caught alive. A research ship conducting whale studies in the Gulf of Mexico accidentally snagged the deep-sea beast while casting nets one-third-of-a-mile into the sea. Unfortunately the nearly 20-foot long 103-pound squid did not survive the trip to the surface.
The squid caught was likely a young female. Adult giant squids can reach 60 feet in length.
