New Zealand fishermen have caught the biggest Squid ever found in deep ocean off Antarctica. It weights around 450kg (992 pounds), about 10 meters and has rings with the size of tires. It was caught by Fishermen who were fishing for toothfish, one of the squids favorite foods. It was eating a toothfish, which was on a long-line, as it came up. It is the first intact adult male Colossal Squid to ever be successfully landed. Colossal Squids can grow 12 to 14 meters in length.
