Japanese fishermen capture live Giant Squid

Great footage, Just nutz! Calamari anyone?

Calamari steaks. Yummy-yums.

Pretty intense.
Most likely got lost on it's way up.
It's fate was already decided when it went way beyond where it's supposed to be, so I kinda don't feel bad for it, but I do at the same time, you know.

I bet marine biologists will be all over the video evidence and flocking to get a peek at this thing before is turns to goo.

The live squid in the water looks like a humboldt squid. Nothing in the video supports the claim of catching a live giant squid?

a reply to: randomtangentsrme

This was my first thought too and the cut scene to the dead one looks awfully familiar.

This would also be a juvenile if this all checks out right?

a reply to: randomtangentsrme

Humbolt squid grow to have 5 foot long mantles , there is no real reference for the size of this thing . Still i would not like to be bitten though .

What an amazing creature, too bad it has been killed.

What is it with the Japanese and things with tentacles?

Hang on. Why celebrate the capture of a live squid, which is promptly killed?

because nature is scary...thats why humans feel the need to eradicate it

Maybe they just ate it there and then?

you'd need a dozen freezers to put them in - its huge - imagine meeting that on a quiet little swim

Yeah, all I could think of was Japanese tentacle porn.
Japan, why are you so weird?

That's sannakji, a Korean "traditional" food
(I already ate that. Omnomnom.)

Good for you buddy



Was it alive and wriggling in your mouth?

a reply to: stargatetravels

Yes xD
It's quite weird since you have to kill it in your mouth and it gives you a even weirder feeling, and if you don't kill it correctly it can kill you xC

I was mostly being sarcastic - it's not good at all, its actually gross.
But hey - who am I to judge?
