Giant Squid Caught By Japanese Fishermen - via Simon Reames

A group of Japanese fishermen have landed a giant squid while on the hunt for a completely different catch.

Shigenori Goto and his crew were hoping for a catch of yellowtail fish but instead the mammoth squid - weighing 163kg (360lbs) - came into view in the freezing seas of northern Japan.

"We were about 30 or 40 minutes into our day when we saw this huge reddish-brown thing come swimming up, rising from the depths," the 44-year-old revealed in a telephone interview.
